About Southern Tap
The origins of Southern Tap homebrew lie in a little place called Tai Tapu, near Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand.
Founded by father and son team Mal and Jordan Ryder, Southern Tap was born out of their passion for crafting the perfect low-carb, dry cider made from nothing but pure goodness.
This selfless pursuit has led them to personally test gallons of their creations, ensuring that every batch delivers the crisp, refreshing taste cider lovers crave.
