Stoic Cider

We like good cider.THE BEST CIDERS EMERGE FROM THE SIMPLEST INGREDIENTS

Our name Stoic Cider stems from the resilience of abandoned orchards, which reflect the grit, persistence, and work ethic of our ancestors.

Good Ingredients, Good Cider

Best Apples

Fresh apples, fresh flavor. We search near and far for southwestern heritage apple orchards. The apples from these old trees are small in size, but large in character.

Best Juice

Juice is key to cider. Freshness and quality breathe life into a sparkling aromatic cider. Furthermore, our small batch process can utilize nano-batches of the highest quality apple and pear juice possible.

Our Process

We combine practices in wine and beer fermentation to yield the best cider. Long, slow, cold fermentations further enhance the fruity apple flavor.

Why We Do It

A passion for apples and a passion for cider. We research apples, farm apples, and ferment apples. Above all, we are excited to share that passion in our cider.

We work hard, we deliver hard cider.THERE IS A STORY

Apples

Bitter with a terrible texture? Yes, please. We use the strangest apples possible. Inedible heirloom English, French, and American cider apples blend together to create aromatic, flavorful ciders.

Pears

A tart pear that dries your mouth with every bite? Ideal. Cider’s cousin “perry” is fermented pear juice. A finely made perry gives the experience of a fresh juicy pear, even on the darkest of winter days.

Yeast

Who knew yeast mattered? Yeast eat sugar to produce alcohol and divine flavor. Inspired by wine and craft beer, we also select yeast strains to blend layers of taste and aroma.

WE MAKE
WHAT WE LOVE

Apples are my life

Too many college degrees–never too many apples. We have hundreds of historic apple varieties: French, English, American. Grafting rare and unique apples? Since we were kids. Tree-rings to date historic orchards? Done. Genetics to identify rare apples? Across America. Now we present: Stoic Cider, our new project to bring apples and ideas to the world.
