A Mighty Tree starts as a Small Seed.
SLO Cider is an award winning hard apple cider crafted in San Luis Obispo, California. We create bold, dry ciders that are easy for everyone to enjoy. Our doors opened March 2020, and through it all we have crafted amazing flavors and keep growing.
Our approach to making cider is simple. We create ciders that are clean and crisp, and try new flavors while maintaining our flagships.
When Refreshing Matters.
We pride ourselves in our quality and precision to make SLO Cider. It’s takes a village to get the product to your hands, and we’re more than happy to go the extra mile to make what we consider the freshest cider in California.
Real Apples, Real Refreshment
We start with 100% fresh-pressed apple juice, because true flavor comes from nature, not shortcuts.
Nothing Fake, Ever
No added sugars. No artificial flavors. Just clean, crisp cider made with love.
Fermented with Patience
Our slow fermentation process unlocks bold, complex flavors and a dry finish that drinks light and crisp.
Naturally Gluten-Free
Everyone deserves something refreshing. Our ciders are naturally gluten-free and crafted for inclusivity.
Crafted with Purpose
We believe less is more. Simple ingredients, thoughtful processes, and a commitment to quality define every batch.
Innovation Without Compromise
From our flagships to our limited releases, we experiment boldly—but never compromise on what makes cider truly great.

An Apple a Day has turned into…
Did you know we opened on Friday, the 13th in March of 2020? The pandemic was on the horizon, and shelter in place was enacted 5 days later. We were open for a total of 35 hours! While the narrative was wait two weeks, we had a feeling it was going to be longer. We shared ideas of how we could help out the community as well as keeping our company afloat moving forward. With hard work and resilience, SLO Cider was able to truck along through all the hurdles of Covid 19 and become the company you see today. From awards to growth spurts, we’re happy to showcase some of our seeds of community and progress.
The Trees are Fruitful Enough to Share
We at SLO Cider love our community. Through partnerships with organizations such as the SLO Food Bank, Woods Humane Society, and Jack’s Helping Hand (to name a few), we have been able to assist in helping our neighbors in need. Through donations, fundraisers, and events we have helped raise over 20,000 dollars for local charities. We take pride in helping those who can further help others in need!
