ROLLINSFORD North Country Hard Cider is in the running for Best Cidery in USA Today’s national 10Best Readers’ Choice 2021 contest.
North Country co-founder Silas Gordon said their candidacy represents a sweet and unexpected recognition. He also said it represents a validating honor no matter the results of the vote because their small-town, small-operation business is nominated alongside some major players in the craft cider world.
“For us, the entire team here works incredibly hard and our process is not the normal process, so it is a bit slower, a bit harder, a bit more variable than kind of what the normal cidermaking process is,” said Gordon. “So it’s always nice to have some recognition any way that it comes. We have open arms.”
