The maker of Strongbow and Bulmers ciders is toasting a record-breaking apple harvest which saw nearly two billion apples harvested.
Heineken, which uses around 30% of all the apples grown in the UK for its ciders, harvested and milled over 128,000 tonnes of apples in 2015.
Alexander Brinkerink, Cider Plant Manager said: “Our cider is down to the dedication and commitment of the hundreds of farmers who nurture, grow and harvest the bittersweet apples we need for the distinctive taste of Strongbow and Bulmers.”
If placed on top of one another, the two billion apples would reach the International Space Station and back 100 times.
