3 Hammers (sometimes called Three Hammers) is a strong white cider [1] made in Tiverton, Devon, England by the Aston Manor Brewery. Before 2009 it was made by the Devon Cider Company, until that company went into administration in 2009 [2] and was taken over by Aston Manor. [3] The cider is named after a small village near Tiverton.[ citation needed]
The strength and cheapness of this and similar white ciders has made them subject to calls for higher taxation to reduce the potential for abuse. [4] In 2006 a litre of 3 Hammers could be bought for £1.19, cheaper by volume than a bottle of Perrier water at 99p for 75 cl. [5]
