Ms. Burlington
The time has come, the time to create a cider inspired by the women of Citizen Cider. We needed a cider that was hard-hitting, chic, and full of class. So, we sat down and we drank cider, all 14 of us, and we collectively agreed on a cider that embodies a true ‘cider lady.’ Ms. Burlington is a collaboration of all things delightful, especially in a cocktail.

Stan Up
We gave Stan the task of making us the finest blend of cider possible from the fruit at his orchard. Made with heirloom blends, this year we did something a little different with Stan Up and used only 2015 apples giving this year’s cider a vintage. We aged the cider in our steel tanks for 10 months starting last November, bottled it in late August and then let it bottle condition for another 2 months. And Voila! A year later we present Stan Up – 2015 Crop. Want to find this cider near you? Click here
