Exploring the fine cider movement and the people and producers behind it.

Think you know about hard cider? Well think again. It's not about flavorless fizz, or the so-called "flavored ciders" that don't actually contain any apples. The contemporary cider scene is an exciting place to spend some time, as passionate makers celebrate tradition and terroir while also embracing seasonality, innovation, and experimentation to produce characterful drinks that are quite remarkable. Fine Cider looks at this modern cider movement, charting its beginnings and introducing some of the key players in fine-cider making, as well as guiding you through the characteristics of different apple varieties, the cider-producing regions around the world, the processes and techniques of cider production, how cider is an exceptional partner with food, and, of course, recommending ciders you need to try.
