Snow Capped Cider bottling facility (Craft Beer & Brewery in Orchard City CO)

Snow Capped Cider sits at a lofty 6,130 feet in Orchard City, Colorado, turning century‑old orchard fruit into liquid sunshine. Every drop comes from estate‑grown apples harvested on the Western Slope (the founders (who had laboured in the orchards for decades) insist that the altitude and pure mountain water are the secret weapons), and they never ever add sugars – just crisp, clean flavour forged by the thin air.

The Cedaredge taproom is a compact shrine to the craft, boasting an award‑winning lineup of ciders alongside a modest range of Colorado wines. Visitors can wander among ample taps that cater to every palate, from tart‑tinged sippers to fuller‑bodied ambles, while the new setting replaces the old Apple Shed with a more “local‑touch” vibe. Every bottle is carefully packed and shipped to preserve the high‑altitude character, ensuring that even the most distant enthusiast gets the same sharp, refreshing punch as the one poured on site.

In short, Snow Capped Cider marries tradition with terroir, delivering a portfolio that feels both adventurous and comfortably familiar – a testament to Colorado’s rugged charm and genuine craftsmanship.
