Welcome to the Cider Renaissance
From Colonial times and well into the 19th Century, hard cider was America's beverage of choice. Democratically re-freshing and widely available, it graced the tables of humble and high-born alike. All across the land, America was a nation of cider lovers.
But there came a change. With the country expanding into lands more suited to grain than orchards, half of the nation's taste began shifting to beer. Meanwhile, the other half embraced Temperance.
Eventually the Drys prevailed, bestowing Prohibition. Hard cider fell on hard times. Even with the end of the "Noble Experiment," cider spent decades as a shadow of its former popularity.
Until 1985. That year saw the founding of Spire Mountain Cider, America's oldest operating craft cider maker. A love affair was reborn.
Apple Cider
From the natural sweetness of famed Washington apples comes this delightful hard cider. Pleasant, light and with a snap of champagne effervescence, each glass is like a bite of crisp liquid apple. Perfectly balanced with just the right tartness, this is one of life's natural pleasures.
