Celebrate World Cider Day on Saturday with $5 schooners

Willie Smith's Organic Cider is offering a special deal for cider lovers around the country. 

The Tasmanian cider producer is set to celebrate ‘World Cider Day’ on Saturday with $5 schooners of its traditionally made organic cider at selected venues across Australia. 

Based in the beautiful Huon Valley (just down the road from me), Willie Smiths is proud of its long apple-growing history and having been the first seller of organic traditionally made cider in Australia.

The Apple Shed, home of Willie Smith’s cider in the Huon Valley, is leading the charge this Saturday with $5 schooners in celebration of World Cider Day.

Willie Smith’s owner, Andrew Smith couldn’t be more thrilled with the way that Australians have embraced Tasmanian cider in recent years.

“We have long dreamt of the rejuvenation of Tasmania’s apple industry and its image as the Apple Isle.  I really believe that dream is coming to fruition and events like this give it the recognition it deserves.''

World Cider Day originated in Germany, where it is starting to warm up for their summer, and Willie Smith's has decided to join in as a perfect way to welcome winter and as a great lead up to Dark Mofo and its own Huon Valley Mid-Winter Festival in July www.huonvalleymidwinterfestival.com.au.

Drinkers can join in the celebrations this Saturday by taking a photo of themselves using cider using the #worldciderday hashtag.
