Fall is here! Now is the time to spend with your family and friends in a cozy space while toasting the good things in your life.

If you’re tired of the classic wines and cocktails of the summer months, consider opting for hard ciders instead. A crisp sip of cider can bring autumnal nostalgia while connecting you with friends to make long-lasting memories. Although some may not consider including hard ciders in their fall celebrations, in 2021, the IWSR (the leading global drinks data and insight provider) shared hard cider’s eight percent volume by growth, revealing its popularity year-round.

Even if you’re not a hard-cider fan, you may want to consider its benefits (uniqueness) during this season. Here are several ciders you should try and sip on during this year’s fall months.
