Symonds is a heritage brand with deep roots in the English cider-making tradition. Originally established in the late 19th century in Herefordshire, a region famous for its orchards, the brand became synonymous with high-quality, authentic bittersweet cider. The signature 'Founder's Reserve' pays tribute to the Symonds family's original recipes and techniques.
While the brand was founded by an independent family-owned business, it underwent a series of acquisitions during the consolidation of the British brewing and cider industries. Over the decades, it passed into the hands of larger corporations, eventually becoming part of a global beverage portfolio. Today, the production remains centered in England, utilizing traditional apple varieties to maintain its distinctive flavor profile.
Currently, the brand is under the ownership of one of the world's largest brewing entities, ensuring that Symonds ciders are distributed widely while maintaining their British character. The ultimate corporate parent oversees a vast array of international beer and cider brands, managing Symonds through its regional UK operations.
