cidermakers
Orchard beverage producers
Cidermakers are people who produce cider—the fermented alcoholic beverage made from pressed apple juice.
The term covers both commercial producers and hobbyists crafting small batches: Local cidermakers have revived heritage apple varieties.
In regions where "cider" means unfermented apple juice, cidermakers may simply press apples without fermentation.
