Long forgotten, American cider is experiencing a true revival today. From the orchards of Vermont to the hills of Oregon, artisanal cideries are popping up all over the United States, breathing new life into a whole segment of the country's agricultural history. Before Prohibition, cider was the most popular drink among settlers—well before beer.

Today, this new generation of American cideries draws from both colonial roots and the spirit of innovation characteristic of the United States. Here, they cultivate heirloom apples like the Harrison or Roxbury Russet, experiment with natural fermentations, venture into bold blends and unexpected formats. The result? A freedom-loving, inventive American cider with a wide range of styles: dry, sparkling, hopped, barrel-aged, or even influenced by natural wine.

On Cider Geeks, we've gathered the most iconic and promising cideries in the United States: their stories, their lands, their approaches. From Michigan to California, embark on a journey to discover a vibrant movement that's redefining cider in the 21st century.
