Hard Cider was America’s original alcoholic beverage of choice, enjoyed by nearly everyone in the colonial era, including our Founding Fathers. Hard cider recently experienced a resurgence; there are more than 18 million cider drinkers in the U.S. today, compared to five million drinkers just four years ago. They appreciate the complexity and balance of flavors, all of which hard cider, and specifically Angry Orchard, delivers.
