START WITH THE BEST

We love hard cider, and think it’s gotten a bum rap.

It all starts with the right apple. We’ve planted over 30 different varietals, most of which are characterized as bittersweet or bittersharp. These ideal apples have a large amount of tannins, which are an essential element for making full-bodied ciders.

BRINGING BACK TRADITION

this is your grandparents’ grandparents’ Cider. sort of.

You haven’t had cider like this. Using the right cultivated apples and bringing back traditional practices, in a modern way, we’re challenging people’s perception of what cider is. 

Are you ready to meet real cider for the very first time?

THE ART & SCIENCE

Acidity, tannins, and balance… oh my

 

Unlike grapes, very few apples make a good hard cider all by themselves. Instead, we blend many apples to get the flavor we’re looking for. This can vary from season to season so while there’s quite a bit of science to making great ciders – there’s an art too.
