Did You Know? There’s Homegrown Cider in Cambodia!

When you think of Cambodia, cider might not immediately come to mind—but guess what? The Kingdom has a sparkling little secret up its sleeve: Kampot Cider. Even though it’s brewed in Sihanoukville, Kampot Cider proudly waves the Cambodian flag, making it the local favorite for cider enthusiasts in the tropics.

If you’ve been searching for cider in Cambodia, you’ve probably noticed the pickings are slim. Most options are imported from Australia or Europe, save for the delightful Mango Cider from Hops. But Kampot Cider stands out—not only because it’s homegrown but also because it’s an absolute joy to sip on a sweltering Cambodian afternoon. Crisp, refreshing, and with just the right amount of sparkle, it’s everything you’d want in a tropical drink.

What Makes Kampot Cider Special? ✨

Kampot Cider owes its effervescence to Champagne yeast, giving it a bubbly brilliance that’s perfect for kicking back after a day exploring Cambodia’s lush landscapes. There’s even a fun little twist—it’s said to keep fermenting in the bottle, which might make its alcohol content a tad stronger than the label suggests. Oh, and don’t be alarmed by the sediment (or as I like to call it, “cider gunk”) at the bottom of the bottle—that’s just a sign of its artisanal, unfiltered goodness.
