About Angry Orchard
Angry Orchard launched in 2011 and became the largest hard cider brand in the United States within two years, in a market where cider had almost no presence. Boston Beer built it from a research project into apple varieties. Its Crisp Apple style is deliberately sweeter than English or French cider, which is what made it accessible to American beer drinkers.
