CIDER CAME WITH THE EARLY SETTLERS https://www.twistedhornmead.com/blog/cider-came-with-the-early-settlers While we’ve seen a recent boom in hard cider production here in American (and wrote a pretty swell blog on it), there’s quite a bit of history behind how cider in America made its mark, and all the uses it had. From how cider was made, to traditional cider uses, and even where cider stands today, we’ll cover a lot of history below. Rough Beginnings The early settlers brought the tradition of cider making to America. Traditional cider is an English drink, born out of the inability to find clean drinking water and its ability to preserve fruit, and when the land was settled the first settlers brought the knowledge of cider making with them. How is cider made now versus how was it made then? Besides no longer using archaic fermentation tools, there are no real differences!
