How many different types of apple varieties can you name? Did you get stumped after Honeycrisp and Cortland? Actually, there are more 7,000 varieties of apples in the world. And for making cider, some say the more bitter, the better.
Cider is usually made from fermented apples, but other fruits such as pears and even cherries are also used. The history of cider is pretty interesting – it’s what the Pilgrims drank.
When this Minnesota startup began making its delicious dry, tart ciders, we were counting the days it would be available for retail. Now it is. Get it by the 4-pack at our Downtown Minneapolis location.
Etienne Dupont Givre Ice Cider
Givre – yes, it is French - will go very well with many desserts, especially those based on apple. But it will also go well with foie gras.
Traditions Ciderworks Amity Rose Dry Cider
From Willamette Valley comes this complex vintage cider, which will improve with cellaring.
Farnum Hill Extra Dry Cider
Out of New Hampshire comes this radically dry bubbly cider that is excellent with spicy food.
Inspired by the festive nature of slightly sweet Demi-Sec champagnes and sparkling wines, the Muse is bubbly and effervescent.
Made in Wisconsin by Miller, not too sweet, not too dry.
Original Sin 'Cherry Tree' Hard Cider
Heirloom apples and tart cherries. Clean, fresh taste.
Minnesota-grown apples and ingenuity come together for this locally produced cider.
Duche de Longueville French Sparkling Cider
Non-alcoholic. Perfect for when you want to have something special on hand without alcohol. It’s French, it’s bubbly.
Strongbow Hard Apple Ciders Variety Pack
Out of Belgium comes this variety pack — especially good for parties or for experimenting with flavors.
And do you know what makes hard cider even better? Having it delivered to your door.
