About
Golden State Cider crafts premium apple-driven dry ciders made from 100% fresh-pressed West Coast apples. Founded in 2012 on Devoto Orchards in Sebastopol, California, the company has deep roots in Sonoma County agriculture, with the founding family growing apples in the region since 1976. The company is on a mission to revitalize the apple in west Sonoma County, producing ciders that are gluten-free and vegan-friendly. Their product lineup includes flagship ciders like Mighty Dry, Brut, Unfiltered, Jamaica, and Farms to Cider, each crafted with cold-pressed apples and balanced without added sugar. Golden State Cider operates taprooms in Sebastopol, San Francisco at Thrive City, and The Barlow in Sebastopol, offering visitors a chance to experience their core ciders alongside heirloom apple brandy cocktails. The company has expanded distribution to 36 states and continues to grow while maintaining its commitment to quality craft beverages made from locally sourced apples.
