As the days get longer and the sun starts shining over New York, one thing’s clear: craft cider is making its move. At Beer Universe, we’re charged up about this crisp, refreshing trend—and if you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the time.

Whether you’re browsing from Albany, Kingston, Troy or any of our 11 locations across the state, you’ll find cider options that satisfy everything from fruity and light to bold and tannic.

🍏 What Makes Cider Special?

Cider has one foot in the beer world and one foot in the wine world—hops may play a role, but apples (and sometimes pears) take the spotlight. That means more variety than your average six-pack, and more chances to discover something unexpected.

At Beer Universe, our cider shelf is more than just an afterthought—it’s a destination. We carry everything from small-batch New York orchard labels to big names from around the country.

🥂 Top Reasons to Choose Cider Right Now
