What IS United States of Cider?
United States of Cider is a collaborative, eclectic compendium & online journal dedicated to exploring and documenting the world of (hard) cider* with a focus on American cider culture.
As of 2019
UnitedStatesofCider.org is based in the Pacific Northwest and focused on exploring cider in North America with a serious nod to cider culture in Cascadia.
We Like Cider.
Origins
Established Dec 31, 2012 – with the 365 Days of Cider initiative to post or tweet about cider daily for all of 2013.
We write about cider here at UnitedStatesofCider.org and tweet about cider @hellocider. You can find us erratically on instagram and on a few select episodes of Heritage Radio’s Cider Sessions with host Jimmy Carbone, frequently at a cider tap somewhere in the Cascadia, and occasionally on the road – seeking cider.
If you have cider intel please feel free to leave a comment, send a tweet, or email us at unitedstatesofcider @ gmail dot com.
*It’s cider. Anything else is just juice.
Great initiative! When will you start the world tour of ciders? NY state is hardly 6 hours away from us – welcome to come and try some of our cider anytime!

A World Tour of Ciders is a terrific idea, and a trip to sample the craft ciders of Ireland would certainly be be a worthwhile research expedition.
