NEW canned craft ciders made by Sheppy’s at Bradford-on-Tone will be hitting the shelves of hundreds of Tesco stores nationwide following a new deal.

Sheppy’s Cider has been available in stores across the South-West but now cans of VAT 14 Classic and VAT 07 Cloudy will be available at more than 400 stores across the UK.

Bottles of Sheppy’s award-winning Vintage Reserve Cider and Original Cloudy Cider will join the cans on Tesco’s shelves.

Master of Cider at Sheppy’s David Sheppy said: “We’re delighted to have secured this listing with Tesco, it’s an exciting step for the brand.

“The launch of our contemporary cans came after a strategic rebrand last year, where we unveiled a new look bottle design as well. This cemented our premium positioning and reinforced the authenticity of the brand.

“Our cider stays true to our traditional, craft cider making roots and heritage.”
