Cider Sucks.
CIDER IS BORING. CIDER IS ONE-DIMENSIONAL. CIDER IS TOO SWEET.
Until now, you were probably right. The vast majority of cider brands offer a product that lacks personality and is void of depth and character. At 101 Cider House, our goal is to craft an alcoholic beverage that’s better for your body, better on your palate, and better for the environment.
We work with orchards up and down the iconic 101 highway, sourcing only non-GMO ingredients that are free of harsh chemicals and pesticides. We start every batch with raw, fresh-pressed juice and allow it to ferment spontaneously for three months – no sulfites added, no pasteurization, and never filtered.
The result is a living beverage that is naturally alcoholic, certified probiotic, and contains zero sugar.
Wild Fermented
101 Cider House cultivates wild fermented cider, leaving a better-for-you, sessionable beverage that is easier on the body. Our blends have zero sugar, zero carbs, are gluten-free, packed with naturally occuring probiotics and always vegan friendly. 100% fresh pressed juice, punchy ingredients and positive guilt-free vibes. Feel the buzz.

Fruit from Actual Trees!

We Use Ugly Apples!

Proper Cider
Needed a Proper Home!
Originally constructed in 1902, our historic building on the banks of the LA River has been fully restored and is now home to our 13,000 sq ft cider house.
We invested years into construction, zoning and permitting, and licensing to manufacture and serve alcoholic beverages to the public.
Make no mistake, there is no other Cider House like this – not in the U.S., not anywhere.
Making History
From Warehouse to Cider House
The build took XX months to complete, and was a monumentous task! The aim was to breathe new life into this historical building while keeping much if its original charm intact.
When you visit 101 Cider, you’re stepping into history. When you drink 101 Cider you’re tasting history in the making!
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT AMERICA’S CIDER ROUTE?
The iconic 101 highway, which glides along the coast of southern California’s sunny beaches to northern California’s redwoods and then from the rocky shores of Oregon to the rainforests of Olympic national park in Washington. Along the way, the west coast’s most dynamic cities line up like the pearls in a 2,878-mile long necklace. From its epic views to its incredible food, its hiking trails to its city streets, driving the 101 end-to-end is the ride of a lifetime. What you may not know is that the 101 corridor is also the unofficial cider route of America – home to thousands of apple growers. The fertile soil, abundant water resources, and ideal climate make this region the perfect location for apple cultivation. According to the united states department of agriculture (USDA), growers along the 101 produce 80% of the country’s total apple crop…More than 7 billion pounds annually. We invite you to start your journey here at our cider house, located where the 101 begins in downtown Los Angeles.
