Vermont is a breeding ground for breweries and boasts one of the highest breweries per capita ratios among the states. It is also a popular startup location for cideries and its own Citizen Cider, based in Burlington, Vermont, now has a new product ready to launch: Companion, a sour cherry cider.
Citizen Cider was founded in 2010 and in less than seven years, it has grown to become one of the New England regions top cider producers. One of the many qualities that consumers love about Citizen Cider is its commitment to local area. The cider is produced using only locally grown fruit and the beverage is made by pressing the juice to make for a more authentic drink. You won’t find Citizen Cider churning out ciders made from concentrate. They keep it real here, and the quality shows in the finished product.
Companion cider stays true to the company’s business philosophy. It’s made using Monmorency and Balaton sour cherries from nearby Wayne County in upstate New York, imparting a distinct, tart cherry flavor to the cider. Combined with the crisp taste of apples, this cider is certain to please.
Companion is available in 4 packs of 12 oz. cans and in draft form in the states where Citizen Cider is presently sold. That would include Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, North Carolina, and South Carolina. This cider is available only in limited release and may not be around for long, so grab yourself a 4 pack while you can, and enjoy the crisp, refreshing taste of cherries and apples with Companion, Citizen Cider’s latest and greatest.
