Where can I buy Somersby merchandise?

We think it’s pretty cool that you want to see what we make aside from our ciders. In fact, we have a limited supply of Somersby merchandise exclusively available on https://webshop.carlsberg.com. Wahoo! If you’ve seen some refreshing Somersby merchandise at an event or festival, it’s bad news, friends – this was most likely marketing material that is not put on sale after the event. But even though this merchandise may not always be available, Somersby cider is. Isn’t that wonderful.

Is Somersby vegan?

At Somersby, we are open-minded people. It’s part of our DNA. And that’s why we say the more diversity the better. So vegans, we’ve pretty much got you covered – the vast majority of our ciders can be considered to be made from vegan friendly ingredients. That is unless they contain carmine (found in Blackberry, Red Rhubarb, Mango & Lime, Sparkling Rosé and Sparkling Spritz). And hey, it’s easy to spot – the use of carmine (E120) is on the ingredient list in markets where the ingredient list is given.

Non-gluten eaters, we’ve got you covered. So pull up a seat at our table, because no cereals or cereal-based ingredients, which are normally a source of gluten, are used in the production of our ciders. Want know something even better? We’ll cheer to that! Listen up, though. If your question concerns the Somersby beer drink available in Kazakhsta, Laos, Poland and Sri Lanka, this is an exception, since this recipe is beer-based and therefore contains gluten.
