Just Pressed Cider was founded by Jake Polledri, a born and bred Bristolian. Cider has always been at the heart of Jake’s upbringing, with his father Peter never being too far away from a refreshing pint himself. Jake has followed in his father’s footsteps in more ways than one – enjoying a cider, but also playing rugby professionally. Jake wanted to ensure that his craft cider was sourced locally from traditional West Country orchards and straight to the bottle – ensuring it’s packed with all-natural flavour. After two years of sampling a variety of craft cider blends, Just Pressed ‘Blindside’ and ‘Boomfa’ were born. Jake proudly plays for Gloucester Rugby and represents Italy Rugby internationally. His close tie with rugby is reflected within the names of the cider – ‘Boomfa’ a medium dry cider with a ‘big hit’ of flavour and ‘Blindside’ a medium sweet cider with all the tang and zest for crisp refreshing tipple.
