CIDER
Fermented or just crushed, still or sparkling, grab a fall favorite made with New York State’s official fruit
As New York’s official fruit, apples here are more than just something we’re proud of. In so many ways, apples are part of our Upstate culture. Since hard cider has become more popular and cideries have been popping up around the state, finding great non-alc options has become more interesting.
Of course there are apple ciders produced all over, but there are a few intended to more appropriately compare to a hard cider experience. Rather than list every cider available in the state, the intention of this page is to connect you to ciders that are more inline with the alcoholic counterpart.
Since it will likely be something you’re thinking as you run through this list, the task of dividing up New York into regions is nearly as complicated as guessing an apple variety just by looking at it! Almost no one (even official state entities) has an agreed upon, official standard for separating the regions of the state. You will likely disagree with where some of the borders are drawn here. Try to remember the most important thing on this page is getting you connected with a fantastic cider produced in your area.
