Cider Explorers Club

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

You’re here because you are thinking about becoming a Cider Explorer. Ask yourself, do you love our limited-release cider but hate hunting for it every month? It sounds like being a Cider Explorer might be the thing for you!

As a Cider Explorer, you are guaranteed:

  2. First dibs on limited-release cider

  3. Access to cider that DOES NOT MAKE IT INTO MARKET, we make it just for you Cider Explorers

  4. See a cider you want to try on our online store, but don’t want a 12pk? Add on 4pks of what you want during the customization window.

Price: $60 /month shipping included, taxes are not.

Back when we had more time on our hands, we would make Cider Explorer Club videos. While we no longer make these videos, if you are thinking about becoming a Cider Explorer, check out the videos below to see what kind of cider you can expect to receive.

Full Disclosure: We no longer send fun lil monthly freebies or tasting cards. We polled the Cider Explorers and asked them: would they prefer to lose the freebies and keep the same price, or keep the freebies and have the cost of the box increase? Not once have we raised our prices.

March 2022

March’s Explorer Box features Strange Portal and BRAVE NOISE!

BOOK OF NOMAD | STRANGE PORTAL
STRANGE PORTAL, a Strawberry White Grape Sake Cider that tastes like Japanese Grape Bubble Gum, Table Sake, Strawberry Juice.⁠ Made with New York apples, Strawberries, Niagara Grapes, Dragonwell Green Tea, Hibiscus, Lemon, Elderflower, and Sake Yeast, this cider is begging you to crack a can in the park for a moment of zen.⁠

BRAVE NOISE!

Our version of @BRAVENOISEBEER is a Hopped Lemon Sherbert Cider that tastes like 🍋 Lemon Sherbert, 🍯Honeysuckle, and 🌿Hop Water. This cider is Gluten-free, 6.9% ABV, and gives back too.

We are donating $2,000 from our Brave Noise profits to @beerkulture. Beer Kulture has advanced and created opportunities that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion within the craft beverage space. In addition, @bluelabelpackaging (who we source our beautiful can labels from) provided our labels at no cost so we could donate an additional $500 to Beer Kulture for a total donation of $2,500.
