Kentish Pip celebrates ten-year milestone with bold rebrand and new next-generation drinks range

CANTERBURY, KENT – Independent drinks producer Kentish Pip has today unveiled a complete brand evolution and a fresh new product portfolio, set to announce publicly on World Cider Day, June 3rd, 2026. The milestone rollout marks a decade of rapid innovation and growth for the business, consolidating 11 months of deep market analysis, evolving consumer trends, and multi-generational family farming ambitions.

Founded and operated at Woolton Farm nr Canterbury, Kentish Pip has spent the last ten years establishing itself as a champion of flavour-driven, responsibly produced English drinks. This comprehensive rebrand, developed in collaboration with brand agency Kingdom & Sparrow, strips away meaningless jargon in favour of a vibrant, clean visual identity centred around the brand’s fresh philosophy: "Flavour First" and "Pressed to Impress".

"2026 marks my tenth year working in this business, and what an incredible, rewarding ride it has been," said Sam Mount, Managing Director of Kentish Pip. "We have spent the last 11 months consolidating everything we’ve learned from our customers, mapping current market trends, and setting out our own ambitions for where we want to take Kentish Pip over the next ten years. We’ve cast aside the traditional views of what cider is supposed to taste like, or how it’s supposed to be made. We’ve put flavour first, no pretention, no boundaries, just creatively pairing quality natural ingredients.

A New Chapter in Craft Cider

Central to the June 3rd launch is a refreshed and refined core cider range. All crafted at Woolton Farm from 100% English apples, the new range features:

• Grafter - Crisp Apple Cider (4.2% ABV): Kentish Pip’s quintessential session cider. It delivers a golden straw appearance with an aroma of fresh green apples and floral blossom, balancing bright, refreshing acidity with light sweetness and a delicate tannin structure.

• Roselle - Hibiscus and Raspberry Cider (3.4% ABV): A light and elegant cider infused with tangy hibiscus and bursting with fresh raspberry aromas. It displays a stunning Provençale Rosé hue with layered notes of cranberry, pomegranate, and a crisp, clean finish.

• Skylark - Premium Reserve Cider (5.5% ABV): Medium-dry and full-bodied, Skylark offers a complex structure of ripe red and green apples accented by deep undertones of toffee, raisin, citrus, and stone fruit.

All ciders will be available across multiple formats to support both the on-trade and off-trade, including 30L and 50L Steel Kegs, 30L Unikegs, 20L Full-Colour Bag-In-Boxes, 500ml and 330ml bottle and 440ml cans.

Expanding Horizons: All-Natural Alcohol-Free Apple Sodas

Recognizing the massive cultural shift toward premium, low-and-no-alcohol options, Kentish Pip is simultaneously stepping into the soft drinks market with a premium line of 330ml Sparkling Apple Sodas.

Built on a base of sparkling Kentish apple juice, these all-natural sodas contain no artificial sweeteners or marketing smoke-and-mirrors. The initial launch lineup includes three variants carefully paired classic British flavours with a twist:

• Kentish Apple (All Natural, Crisp and Fresh)

• Hibiscus & Rose (All Natural, Floral and Exotic)

• Gooseberry & Elderflower (All Natural, Taste the English Summer)

Rooted in Sustainability

True to Kentish Pip's foundational values, the rebrand underscores a continuing commitment to ultra-low-impact production and responsible stewardship of Woolton Farm. 100% of the company's waste apple pulp is actively converted into green energy, local supply chains are strictly prioritized to reduce food miles to an absolute minimum and working with sustainable agricultural practices including being in the higher tier countryside stewardship scheme.

The new Kentish Pip range will be available to order from June 3rd, 2026.
