Hard cider

It's incredible to think that hard cider nearly vanished from American shelves. During what people like to refer to as the "golden era of hard cider", colonists in 18th-century America were known to offer guests a glass of the beverage (via New England Historical Society). Sadly, because of Prohibition, apple trees used to make cider were cut down, ruining the business for decades, according to the University of Wisconsin. In the 1980s, the industry began to rebound. By 2027, the market value of the sector will have nearly quadrupled due to a major rebound in everything related to craft alcohol (via Market Data Forecast).

Look no further than Houston for proof that hard cider is on the rise once again. Numerous cideries and businesses with a focus on cider have emerged in the Texas town as a result of the growth of craft cider and the inflow of people from the north. The Cidercade, a cider bar, and video game arcade are one of the greatest locations in Houston to experience hard cider. Bishop Cider Company is the owner and operator of The Cidercade. All of the company's hard ciders, kombuchas, and seltzers are available at the arcade. The Pineapple Paradise is a sweet cider lover's dream come true.
