From Orchard to Glass: The Art of Cider Making Unveiled

Posted on January 28th, 2024.

If you've ever sipped on a crisp and refreshing glass of cider, you've experienced the culmination of a meticulous process that transforms humble apples from the orchard into a delightful beverage. In this blog post, we delve into the fascinating journey of cider making, unraveling the artistry and craftsmanship behind every sip. 

The Orchard Origins

At Mojave Brewing Company, we take pride in sourcing the finest apples from carefully tended orchards. Our commitment to quality begins at the roots, where the perfect blend of apple varieties is nurtured to create a symphony of flavors. From the classic sweetness of Gala apples to the tartness of Granny Smiths, our orchard embraces diversity to craft a cider that appeals to every palate.

Harvesting the Bounty

The cider-making process kicks off with the harvest, a time-honored tradition where apples are handpicked at the peak of ripeness. This ensures a vibrant and rich flavor profile that translates into each batch of Mojave Cider. Our orchard-to-glass philosophy means that only the juiciest and most flavorful apples make the cut, guaranteeing a superior product for our customers.

Pressing Perfection

Once the apples are harvested, they undergo a careful pressing process to extract the purest juice. At Mojave Brewing Company, we employ state-of-the-art equipment to ensure maximum yield without compromising the quality of the juice. The result is a liquid essence that captures the essence of the orchard and sets the stage for the next steps in the cider-making journey.

Fermentation Finesse

Fermentation is where the magic truly happens. The extracted juice is introduced to a symphony of yeast strains, each contributing its unique notes to the flavor profile. This stage requires precision and expertise, and our master cidermakers at Mojave Brewing Company have honed their craft to orchestrate a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on the palate.

Bottling Brilliance

After the fermentation process, the cider is carefully filtered and carbonated to perfection. Our commitment to excellence extends to every bottle that bears the Mojave Cider label. From the iconic apple-shaped cap to the crisp, clear glass, each element is designed to showcase the artistry within and make every sip an experience to savor.
