1911 Established consistently delivers solid performance within the hard cider category, reporting sales up 6.7% year-to-date through June 30, 2025. This growth reflects unfailing execution across both core and seasonal portfolios, as well as strength in a variety of retail and on-premise channels.
1911 Established Black Cherry Hard Cider remains a standout, leading the core lineup across multiple formats, including 16oz cans and 19.2oz single-serve packages. On-premise draught volume for Black Cherry is up 52% year-over-year, signaling continued consumer pull at the tap.
Honeycrisp, a single-varietal cider made from one of our most iconic apples, continues to gain traction with packaged volume sales up 37% and draught volume climbing 53% versus the same period last year.
Seasonals have also outperformed expectations, with Pineapple Mango Hard Cider leading the way. This annual limited release has posted positive 44% year-over-year growth in packaged volume, reinforcing demand for flavor-forward innovation that doesn't stray too far from the orchard.
1911 Established success lies in our ability to offer bold, fruit-driven, gluten-free ciders that resonate with a wide range of consumers, without compromising on our tree-to-can authenticity. We grow our own apples here on our fifth-generation family-owned and operated orchard; that's 115 years of hand pruning, hand picking, and pressing each apple. We know the cider shelf is competitive, and we're focused on staying nimble, relevant, and delicious.
Currently available in 27 states, 1911 Established continues to build meaningful distribution while identifying new opportunities for engagement and activation. Recent wins across club and chain accounts underscore strong consumer response and support the case for expanded placement and promotion.
For buyers and distributors alike, 1911 Established represents a high-quality, partner and consumer driven portfolio with proven performance, a loyal consumer base, and a continued commitment to category growth.
“This journey has been nothing short of incredible. As a fifth-generation family business, seeing 1911 Established thrive the way it has means so much to all of us. It’s more than just cider it’s our legacy, our land, and our people. We’ve poured our hearts into every can, and to watch consumers across the country embrace what we’ve built here in LaFayette is deeply humbling. Our growth isn’t just about numbers, it’s about sharing something real, rooted in tradition, and built for the future.” — Eddie Brennan, President, Beak & Skiff/1911 Established
