History
We have been making ACE ciders for 15 years in the beautiful Sebastopol area of Sonoma County in California; right along side some of the world's most renowned wine makers. Thanks to Ace Hard Cider - America's Best - the cider business in America is growing rapidly. There really is a refreshing alternative to beer and wine and it's ACE! Unfortunately, some ciders never see an apple and are poor representations of the category. They've really given hard cider a bad name. Many ciders are far too perfumy (almost Jolly Rancher-tasting) and are quite a put-off to those seeking a crisp alcoholic refreshment. Some ciders are very dry and barnyard tasting, especially some of the imports. We challenge you to take a taste test of your own if you don't believe ACE ciders are truly America's Best! Our Award-Winning ACE Hard Ciders are very pure, clean, and refreshing because we use ONLY the best eating apples for our juice and the best ingredients we can buy. There is a big difference between
Specialties
The California Cider Company is owned by Geoffrey House, the man credited with initiating the national cider renaissance. Utilizing his insider's view of the cider industry, he took more than two years to develop the Ace Cider. House, owner of the second largest specialty beer and cider marketing company in the US, began importing ciders into the US in 1986. Since then he has seen explosive sales growth, as hard cider has moved beyond specialty beer and liquor stores and established itself on the supermarket shelves as a new drink category. With Sonoma's superior apple juice giving Ace Cider their great fresh taste and House's expertise and in-depth knowledge of the hard cider business providing a marketing edge, CCC is beginning to take a dominant position in this increasingly significant new beverage market. As with all alcoholic beverages, we urge you to please drink responsibly.
