CiderCon® 2025 Session: Join Darlene Hayes, Rémi BAUDUIN and Yann Gilles for a fascinating dive into how conditions in the orchard impact cider apple characteristics. Panelists will use research conducted in France over the last dozen years to provide data-driven information about how factors such as soil and climatic conditions, orchard management and apple maturity play key roles in juice composition and strongly influence the final cider profile. #cidercon #cidercon2025 #pickcider #cidermaker #cidermaking #ciderscience #orchardtobottle #cider #hardcider #craftcider

The American Cider Association was proud to collaborate with the Brewers Association to include cider in the Great American Beer Festival for the first time last week. We are celebrating all the ciders that medaled! With 5 categories and 230 ciders entered into the competition, it was truly cider history in the making. The ACA wants to give a special shout out to Chris Williams, the GABF competition director, for doing an exceptional job learning about cider and ensuring cider was treated respectfully and fairly as part of the competition.

Hurricane Helene has unimaginably impacted the cider, hospitality and apple growing communities of Western North Carolina and surrounding Appalachia. We’ve seen the cider industry show up for those in need before. We’re asking our members to rise up and support the professionals impacted by Helene on behalf of the cider community in Helene’s path. We’re calling this joint fundraising effort “Rising Tide,” on the recommendation of our member Lyndon Smith at Botanist & Barrel. It’s a play on both the impact of the storm, but the even more powerful impact of collective action–A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats. We’re collecting donations for our Rising Tide campaign through our website and passing 100% of them onto the Southern Smoke Foundation, who supports hospitality workers and farmers with emergency relief funds. You can learn more about how to donate on our website. Link in bio. As the aftermath of Hurricane Helene will continue to impact Appalachia for some time, Florida is now being hit with Hurricane Milton. Our thoughts are with you all and we hope for safety from the storm. #HurricaneHeleneRelief #HurricaneHelene #risingtideforappalachia #appalachia #nccider #northcarolinacider #PickCider #craftcider #cider https://lnkd.in/gHjG9_2q

Join our panel featuring Jana Daisy-Ensign from Northwest Cider Association, Striker Reese from The Roots Fund Incorporated, Em Sauter artist of Pints and Panels, and Aneel de Albuquerque, beverage manager for the Charleston Wine + Food Festival for a lively discussion on shifting consumer preferences in the beverage industry. We’ll explore the debate between entertainment and education: Are today’s consumers, especially younger ones, gravitating more towards immersive, fun experiences, or does educational content still hold significant value? #cidercon #cidercon2025 #pickcider #cidereducation #cidersales #cider #craftcider #hardcider
