Downeast Cider House

Downeast Cider House is an American craft hard cider company based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It was founded in 2011, by recent graduates of Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. The reason for the company's founding was to allow the founders to avoid finding "real" jobs after college and making a hard cider taste like freshly pressed apple juice.

History

Downeast Cider House has been located in three different production facilities. The first was located in the Central Maine Power mill in Waterville, Maine. The second was a warehouse in Leominster, MA. The current is in Charlestown, Boston, MA. The next facility, currently under construction, is located in Jeffries Point, Boston.
