Cranes Ciders were founded by twin brothers Ben & Dan Ritsema back in 2012. After discovering at university just how much sugar went into the fruit ciders which were already on the market, they decided to break the mould and take on the big companies and launch a healthier alternative, creating Cranes range of natural fruit ciders.

Cranes portfolio includes; 

4% fruit ciders, handcrafted using the most premium superfruits to deliver a refreshing natural cider
- Blueberries & Apples
- Cranberries & Limes
- Lemons & Kumquats
- Raspberries & Pomegranates
As well as a medium-dry 4.8% Premium Apple Cider and a 0.5% Low Alc alternative

Available in stores, pubs and bars across the UK and online @ drinkcranes.shop

Cranes Cider

Got this Facebook memory yesterday from 11 years ago. 



How things have changed, if I knew of all the ups and downs that would prevail over the next 11 years, I think my 22 year old self would have struggled for motivation. It's amazing what blind optimism and naivety can help you achieve haha 🤣🤣. 


Also thanks Jackie Ritsema for being our first customer and all the support along the way.

Taking Time to Recharge: Finding Balance in Work and Life 🏔️

As time has passed I've realised the importance of hitting pause and embracing moments of rest from work. For me, the lockdown period served as a wake-up call, forcing me to reevaluate my work-life balance.

I realised that if I wanted to sustainably enjoy building Cranes Cider in the long run, prioritising balance was a non-negotiable.

That's why I've made a conscious effect to switch off from work, ensuring I can recharge. 

I'll admit, switching off from work, even on holiday, always used to be a struggle. This weekend, I'm taking some timeout to be on the slopes. If you email me today or Monday, don't hold your breath for a response until Tuesday 😉.

Reflecting on 2023, it's been a year of planting great ideas that are set to bloom in 2024. 


Celebrating 11 incredible years since founding Cranes Cider, sponsoring the Cambridge Folk Festival for the first time....

......... but what truly made this year for me, is that, in 2023 has been the year I've enjoyed running Cranes the most. Through ups and downs, it's been fulfilling and I'm eager to witness the growth of these endeavors in next few years. 🌱✨

🚀 The holiday hustle is starting to ramp up, Daniel and I were in the warehouse yesterday helping make up giftsets for an order we needed to get out. 

Shout out to Chris who has been smashing them out to fulfil our orders. You can see him handling the forklift like a pro, shops are clearly starting to build their stock for the busy Christmas season 🎁🚛
