Downeast Cider House is a craft hard cider company founded by Ross Brockman and Tyler Mosher. They were inspired by the farm fresh cider that New Englanders love and wanted to bring that tradition back to American culture. Their cider is made with locally grown, freshly pressed apples – a blend of Red Delicious, McIntosh, Cortland, and Gala.
