Why the Angry Orchard name? Our (lucky) cider makers travel the world in search of the very best cider apples.

Is Angry Orchard a beer? Although hard cider and beer have many similarities, they are not one and the same. Beer, by definition, is made from a combination of grains (usually malted barley), hops, and yeast, while Angry Orchard (and most other cider) is made from a variety of fresh fermented apple juices.

The apple varieties that we generally find in stores and that are used for the making of modern-style ciders include McIntosh, Golden and Red Delicious, Goldrush, Honeycrisp, Cortland, Idared, Jonagold, Granny Smith, Gala, and Fuji.
