Introducing the
NEW YORK CIDER COMPANY
CIDER CLUB

We hope you will sign up for our new Cider Club, shipping to nearly 40 states across the county and available for pickup at participating locations. The Cider Club is a fun way to make sure your New York Cider Company very dry hard cider is always on the way! It’s also the perfect gift for the cider lover in your life. Here’s what makes membership so special:

  • Receive three of our favorite small-batch, rare, “Members Only,” experimental, or otherwise interesting New York Cider Company wild and dry hard ciders each winter, spring, summer, and fall. Your quarterly charge will be $50 to $75 at shipment. (Tax and shipping not included.)

  • Become a New York Cider Company “In-cider.” Enjoy our quarterly newsletter about the ciders in each release and food to pair with them, plus a behind-the-scenes view of life at New York Cider Company.  

  • Receive discounts on all cider purchases; invitations to exclusive cider events and online tastings; chances to win complementary cider; and a free gift for joining the club.

  • Early in the Coronavirus scare, we announced that New York Cider Company would be picking up the tab for shipping costs on orders of 6 bottles or more. We figured it would make people’s quarantine a bit more bearable, and we also figured — correctly — that it would help us sell good cider that we were having trouble getting to market (as a result of the pandemic). For now, we are still offering everyone this benefit. (And if you live in the New York City or Ithaca area, you may have the opportunity to avoid shipping charges entirely, by picking up your club release at local farmers markets or at the cidery itself.)

    * With each quarterly club release, you have the opportunity to add additional cider bottles to your club shipment. This will this enable you to get larger quantities of cider when club shipments go out, and you will be able to avail yourself of the aforementioned free shipping offer on 6 bottles or more!

Receive three of our favorite very dry hard ciders each quarter.

Winter, spring, summer, and fall expect a shipment of three 750 ml New York Cider Company artisanal ciders hand-picked from our growing cider archive. These will include some of our most popular blends, as well as rare “Members Only” cider releases. Generally, members are among the first —if not the first — people to taste our various ciders.

You’ll be able to read about each of the ciders you receive in our In-Cider newsletter to Club Members, posted online (or printed, if you prefer) with each quarterly release.

Stay connected with a small artisanal cider company, based in Ithaca, NY.

We’ll keep you posted on what’s happening at New York Cider Company, located in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. Cider makers Steve Daughhetee and Joseph Steuer will tell you about discovering secret wild apple trees in local hedgerows; rescuing ancient, overgrown apple trees; employing traditional cider-making techniques—including wild fermentation and bottle conditioning—to create award-winning ciders; getting pickup trucks loaded with hand-picked apples out of muddy ditches; pairing and cooking with hard cider; and anything else that comes to their minds!

Don’t worry about “…while supplies last!”

We are a small company that makes a limited amount of its very dry artisanal ciders each season. Unfortunately, ciders often sell out before many of our customers get the chance to try them. We cannot guarantee Cider Club Members will be able to try every one of our ciders in their quarterly shipments. But we can make sure you are among the first to be tipped off about our new releases—giving you a jump on ordering them before we run dry.

Keep cider fresh with a gift from New York Cider Company.

Hard as it is for us to imagine, not everyone finishes a bottle of cider in one sitting. That’s why we are including a “champagne stopper” with membership. It clicks onto bottles easily and will keep the cider bubbly for days.

Quarterly raffles for Club Members.

Each quarter, we will choose one Cider Club Member at random to receive one complimentary bottle of New York Cider Company cider.

Special invitations.

As a member, you will be invited to special Cider Club events, such as barrel tastings at the cidery, new cider release parties, tours through ancient rescued orchards, food pairing events, and more.

Discounts.

Order online or purchase at participating farmers’ markets and enjoy a 5% discount on all ciders.

How much does membership cost?

To receive each of the benefits above, including 3 artisanal New York Cider Company Ciders each quarter, your credit card will be charged $50 to $75 a quarter. (Tax and shipping not included.) Feel free to add to your shipment. If you up your order to 6 or more bottles, we’ll cover the shipping! And that’s on top of your Member Discounts!

How to join?

Just fill out the form, which includes billing and shipping or pickup information. If you are gifting the membership, have special instructions, or wish to pick up your cider, please email us at nyciderco@gmail.com or call 607/229-7511.
