The Morning Advertiser (MA) has spelled out what the cider category looks like as the pub sector hopes to sink its teeth into a summer of pub garden drinking, sport and (state sanctioned) socialising.

Where else can you start with a feature on cider? With some 7,500 varieties grown worldwide – and more than 250 UK apple varieties used for cider according to Discover Cider – it’s little wonder the category is so diverse.
More than half (55%) of the 122 new cider products introduced to the drinks market in 2019 were apple-based – compared to 39% fruit ciders – according to CGA, proving that despite the success of zany flavours, they still haven’t completely upset the apple cart.
A heartfelt thank you : So many pubs have shown remarkable compassion and resilience since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak – that’s why we’re so keen to support them, Paul Robertson, head of on-premise at Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) GB said After being crowned Pub Heroes in September, The Morning Advertiser revisited a trio of operators who received grants from Coca-Cola’s Community Pub Fund to find out how they had used their five-figure spur.
Following a public vote involving more than 65,000 people, each of the 15 winners from the Great British Pub Awards – Pub Heroes in September was invited to apply for grant funding from Coca-Cola.

The Victoria in Newton got involved with the Helping Hands project HAS there ever been a year like this for business? The monumental challenges of the pandemic – from the various lockdowns, restrictions and social distancing to the furloughing of staff and the need to apply for emergency grants – have left many bosses and their staff with their heads spinning.

At the start of this month, more than £29m in government grants had been paid out to more than 3,000 businesses via St Helens Borough Council.
