Proudly rooted in the West of Ireland, the premium craft cider brand is celebrating an exciting new milestone after being stocked at all five bars and restaurants at Shannon Airport. Whether visitors are returning home from Ireland or locals are heading off on their long-awaited holiday, a refreshing Galway Cider offers the perfect send-off, showcasing the quality, character and craftsmanship that define the region.

Created by a team of proud Galwegians, the Galway Cider brand was inspired by the city they call home. Its distinctive label features illustrations of Galway’s iconic landmarks and favourite local spots, inviting people to discover a little of the city’s history, character and charm with every sip.

Behind the striking design is an equally impressive cider. Crafted using 100% Irish apples, carefully sourced from renowned orchard cideries in Waterford and Tipperary, every bottle of Galway Cider begins with some of the country’s finest fruit. The cider is then patiently aged for 24 months, creating a crisp, balanced flavour that is both refreshing and full of character. Vegan-friendly and gluten-free, it’s a modern Irish craft cider made to be experienced.

As Galway Cider continues to pour in pubs, hotels and restaurants across Galway and along the Wild Atlantic Way, its presence at Shannon Airport represents another significant step in the brand's journey. It's an opportunity to share a true taste of the West with people from around the globe while proudly flying the flag for Irish producers.

“Since taking over the brand just over a year ago, we've launched a fresh marketing and sales campaign that's helped Galway Cider reach several key locations outside the county,” shares Gary Vaughan of Galway Cider. “It’s a massive testament to the strength of the brand, the quality of the flavour, and the drive of the team behind it.”

No matter if you've got a bottle of Galway Cider at home, while exploring the west coast, or grabbing a pint before your flight, raise a glass to local flavour, Irish craft and to the cider that’s taking Galway to the world.
