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 OFOLYMPIC 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.

HOW IT’S MADE
IT ALL STARTS WITH RAW JUICE
Your Non-GMO, source-verified juice arrives at our facility to begin its journey. It is raw and unadulterated, which is just how we like it.
FERMENTATION GONE
WILD
WILD
During the primary fermentation, naturally occuring yeast eats the natural sugars and converts it to alcohol and CO2.
FERMENTATION GONE
WILD(ER)
WILD(ER)
During the secondary fermentation, lactic acid bacteria consumes malic acid and any remaining carbohydrates to create billions of CFUs of probiotic cultures.
TIME TO BLEND & ADD BUBBLES
The bone dry, probiotic, and alcoholic cider is blended with locally-sourced, non-GMO ingredients (fruit, hops, etc). And lastly, the cider is carbonated to deliver a sparkling finish.
…THREE MONTHS LATER
You’re left with the cleanest alcoholic beverage on the market. It has zero sugar and zero carbs and it is free from sulfites and chemical preservatives. It is also certified probiotic and retains all of its vitamins + nutrients because it is not pasteurized or sterilized. Cheers!
