APPLES AREN'T JUST APPLES Discover the difference between bittersweet, bittersharp, sharp, and sweet apples, and why the varieties used can completely change a cider's character. THE SCIENCE OF CIDER Learn how fermentation, yeast, sugar, acidity, and tannins shape the finished product. CIDER STYLES AROUND THE WORLD Explore traditional English cider, French cidre, Spanish sidra, and modern American cider. Dry, sweet, still, sparkling, funky, or refined.
