BOISE, Idaho â Meriwether Cider brewed a special batch called Jupiter s Cider to pay homage to slaves who had a profound impact on the beginnings of cider making in America. Jupiter Evans was a slave in the Thomas Jefferson s household, said Molly Leadbetter, one of Meriwether Cider s owners. He was the head cider maker from getting the apples out of the field to crushing them and fermenting the cider, so we decided that we wanted to make a cider specifically for him.
