BHTV: Local Hard Cider is a Big Draw in Western North Carolina
You have probably heard about Western North Carolina's award-winning craft brewery scene, but the lesser known hard cider industry is on the rise. From the apple orchards of Henderson County to the tables of our top restaurants, hard cider is a beverage that's local to the core.
BHTV: Asheville's Small Business Community is Growing #GoLocal:
BHTV: Main Street Hendersonville, NC:
Asheville is known as Beer City, USA, but the lesser-known hard cider industry is taking off. Neighboring Henderson County is one of the largest apple producers in the country, making hard cider a truly local industry. Cider making brings together North Carolina's rich history of agriculture with our exciting craft beverage scene.
“We grow over 85% of the apples grown in North Carolina,” says Marvin Owings, Jr., director of Henderson County Extension. “We've got on average somewhere between a $24 and 30 million industry, just in apples alone, so it's a big part of this county. There's been a lot of interest in hard cider. It's really taken off. And a lot of folks like it because they really don't like a wine or a beer, so this is kinda in between.”
“We really started a cidery because of an absence of any cider in this area,” says Leif Stevens of Noble Cider. “We were the first cidery to start in this area, and it's a huge apple growing region. This area's really taken off for beer. We were all cider drinkers, and we were wondering, ‘Why are there no cideries in this area?’”
“Well, at Noble Cider, we had kind of a mission in the beginning that we talked about of using all local fruit and keeping that within the community,” says Stevens. “So, we use local apples from just down the road, we press them, we turn them into hard cider, and we send them out the door. So we're really in control of the process from fruit to glass. And it's great to be able to see an apple turn into your final product. And that's kind of been our mission from the beginning.”
“Unlike beer, we actually have the raw ingredients here,” says Stevens. “Asheville's just such a cool place, and it has great water, which I think has attracted all the breweries to this area, but we don't really grow any grains, so all that is brought in from elsewhere. However, we do have all the apples here in Western North Carolina.”
“The tannins that come from these more tart apples, it tastes like an apple is supposed to taste,” says Owings.
“A lot of ciders are very sweet,” says Stevens. “We wanted to go for a cider that was much closer to a wine. I often describe it as being a bit like a dry champagne. Cider is excellent for pairing with food. It essentially, as I said, is like a wine. So in a lot of ways it pairs with food better than beer. We find a lot of chefs actually cook with it. There's a lot of restaurants in town using our cider in various dishes.”
“There is a bunch of restaurants pushing local ingredients,” says Adam Wilson, owner and head chef of Square Root Restaurant in Brevard. “It helps the entire town survive, as well as puts fresh products on our plate. We like to support as many of 'em as we can. It's a gluten-free item that people have been asking for. I feel that Noble Cider's fine enough we actually serve it in a wine glass right out of the tap. It pairs well with what we serve it with.
