craft cider
Small-batch fermented apples
Craft cider is cider made by small, independent producers using traditional methods, distinguished from mass-produced commercial varieties.
Like craft beer, the term implies attention to ingredients, fermentation technique, and flavor complexity: The taproom features twelve craft ciders on draft.
The category has grown as consumers seek alternatives to industrial beverages.
