We don’t add sugar, we don’t pasteurise and we don’t add artificial flavors. We’re all about keeping it real – 100% crushed fruit fermented with minimal intervention. Natural C02 produced during fermentation makes for an easy bohemian bubble.

Hugh McKellar of Real cider Reviews described the Sweet Julie as having “bucket loads of fruit without being sickly sweet” and rated it very “easy to drink” which he said is “good as you’re probably going to want a couple”.

Made from the Julie apple – the first apple to be created in the Blue Mountains / Sydney basin since the Granny Smith apple over 100 years ago. Hillbilly is the only cider in the world that uses the Julie

The Hillbilly brand, a boutique cider rapidly growing in popularity, is the creation of Bilpin residents, cider makers and husband and wife duo Shane and Tessa McLaughlin who are always happy to share their story on how they used title loans without checks to startup their Business. Shane was pleased with the international win, saying it was great news and further ratification following their recent medals in the Australian Cider Awards in October last year, where the pear was awarded “Best in Class” and the apple, a silver medal.
