All Times Sparkling Cider

Supporting local fruit grower’s is the core of everything we do. Citizen Cider started off with the idea of creating a local hard cider made with all local fruit. Fast forward 7 years and we have grown into and established local company, but there was something missing… Yes, we have a great hard cider line-up, but what about the folks out there who don’t drink? We wanted to share our core values in creating a local cider with everyone. And so All Times was born.

Sierra Nevada
Ken Grossman learned to homebrew from the father of a close friend. From an early age, he was enamored by the sights and smells of the fermenting jugs of bubbling beer. His first attempts at brewing were rudimentary at best, but began a lifelong passion for the art of fermentation. Grossman began planning a new small-scale brewery based in Chico. He took inspiration from the nearby mountains - the Sierra Nevada mountain range - and launched Sierra Nevada
