Cider is a fermented alcoholic beverage made from the juice of apples. In the U.S., cider is commonly known as “hard cider”, while “cider” usually refers to a non-alcoholic, unfiltered apple juice known as apple cider with a distinct sweet-tart taste. The addition of sugar or extra fruit before a second fermentation increases the alcoholic content of the resulting beverage.
Ciderfest is a Hard Cider and Craft Beer sampling. Come find your new favorite ciders and beers! Minnesota made or National, try them all! Unlimited Ciders and Beers, food, games, prizes and live music. We’ve got it all just for you!
Gates will open at 1pm for VIP and 2pm for general admission. Upon arrival have your ID and ticket. General Admission & DD tickets will be available to purchase at the gate. General Admission $35 | DD $10 at the gate. At the gate you will receive a commemorative sampling glass which will be your pass to sampling nearly 100 different ciders and craft beers, an ultimate craft beer and cider guide.
Yes, it is made from apples, and not from wheat or barley, so it is naturally gluten-free. With Smith & Forge Hard Cider, those with a sensitivity to gluten may instead concentrate on fending off other health threats, like being trampled by their oxen. We are certified gluten-free by the Gluten Intolerance Group. They really don’t see eye to eye with gluten.
Perfect! So do we, in fact did you notice the name change? We will be pouring from over 20 Minnesota craft breweries!
