Located in the heart of Alaska’s stunning wilderness, this small-batch cidery is dedicated to using the diverse apple varieties grown in the region to craft ciders that perfectly encapsulate the flavors of the North. With a range of unique and flavorful ciders, Arctic Roots Cider is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the best of Alaskan brewing.
If you find yourself in the land of the midnight sun, you simply cannot miss out on the delicious concoctions of Arctic Roots Cider in Alaska.
This small-batch cidery is dedicated to using locally-sourced ingredients, including a variety of apples that grow in Alaska's unique climate, to create some of the most flavorful and refreshing ciders around.
Arctic Roots Cider prides itself on sourcing its apples directly from local farmers, giving the ciders a distinct taste of Alaska.
Over 100 varieties of apples are organically grown in rich glacial soil and almost 24 hours of the midnight sun during the peak of the growing season. The apples are then handpicked, hand-pressed, and fermented in small batches using classic European techniques before being packaged carefully.
This delicious cider is bursting with beautiful apple aromas and flavors with just the right sweetness and exceptional body. You can find it on tap and also available in cans to go at 49th State Brewing in downtown Anchorage.
Also made with 49th State Brewing and available there, the Elliott Orchard Ale is a beer and cider hybrid brewed with an amber malt base and organic Alaskan apples from Elliott Orchard in the MatSu Valley. Taking a sip is similar to biting into a delicious Honeycrisp apple. You will find bright apple notes up front, a malty amber backbone, and even hints of caramel malt in the finish!
Package stores like Oaken Keg and Gold Rush liquor and smaller places all over the state sell packaged ciders ready to go! And some restaurants in the state, like Oasis Restaurant and Lounge in Fairbanks and Tokyo Restaurant in Wasilla, will serve it with your meal.
So, whether you're a cider enthusiast or just looking for a taste of Alaska's natural bounty, Arctic Roots Cider is what to buy.
With its commitment to local sourcing and its exceptional flavors, this cidery embodies Alaska's spirit. So head to one of the locations selling their ciders, and indulge in the refreshing and flavorful ciders of Arctic Roots Cider. Cheers!
