Crafted in the heart of Sussex, Ascension Cider brings the alchemy of the apple to life with a range of delicious artisan ciders. Their core apple ciders, such as the popular Pilot, come in varying strengths, complemented by specialty flavours and limited-edition blends that celebrate creativity and the changing seasons.

Using primarily eating apples—often rejected by supermarkets for their shape or size—Ascension Cider creates naturally fermented beverages without concentrate, added water, or sugar. This ensures every cider highlights the fresh, juicy flavour of the apple itself.

A Family Passion for Cider and Altitude

Owned by the father-and-son duo Matt and Martyn Billing, Ascension Cider combines Matt’s expertise in cider making with Martyn’s distribution and marketing prowess. Based in a repurposed apple store on an East Sussex orchard with over 15 apple varieties, they draw endless inspiration for their innovative creations.

The company's hot air balloon logo and strapline, Cider with Altitude, reflect a family legacy of ballooning. Matt is a third-generation pilot, following in the footsteps of his grandfather David and father Martyn. Keep an eye out for an Ascension balloon gracing the skies over Sussex soon.

Introducing the Ascension Can Range

Ascension Cider’s new can range features four exciting blends, including:

  • Pilot: A best-selling apple cider.
  • Purple Haze: A refreshing blackcurrant lemonade cider.
  • Shimmy: A tropical pineapple and lemon wild cider.
  • Into The Jetstream: A bold cranberry sour cider.

These lightly carbonated versions of their popular still ciders are packaged in eye-catching cans adorned with the signature hot air balloon design.

Quality You Can Trust

Every Ascension Cider is gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and made solely from the juice of fresh apples. Their commitment to quality and sustainability ensures a drink that is as ethical as it is enjoyable.
