Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Ace Hard Cider, in apple, pear, and perhaps other fruits, is made in Sebastopol. It's quite lovely -- I use the apple version to finish pork tenderloin roasts. And it's quite alcoholic. I don't remember the alcoholic content, but it's not insubstantial. Ace has a pub and market on the west side of Gravenstein Highway just north of Sebastopol. I drive past it very often, leaving San Francisco for Sea Ranch, where I spend most of my time. I always want to stop and check it out, but the schedule never fits such a stop. Nor does drinking and driving fit my plans! There's also Hard Core Cider, which has a pub just south of Sebastopol on the west side of the highway. I'm pretty sure I have the name right. A quick Google showed an article saying Hard Core Cider is produced by Boston Beer. That doesn't sound right. I didn't find a website, and I don't know whether it's GF. H.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I love cider, but not Ace as they put hops in it and I just don’t like hops. But I think Wyder’s uses barley based caramel color – anyone know? Connie From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of flatcat9@...

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Are you sure Ace puts hops in their cider? Their web page doesn't say anything about hops and I'm pretty sure it's just local apples... it says: Ace Apple, CCC's flagship brand, is made with 100% pure, local apple juice Ace Apple Honey is made with 5% Sonoma wildflower honey and 95% pure Sonoma County apple juice. Ace Berry is a mixture of raspberry, blackberry and strawberry juice added into our fermented apple cider. (http://www.acecider.com/) I think their regular apple is DELICIOUS and I love it. Tastes simply like sweet, alcoholic apples. They also have pear and berry which I don't care for, because they are too sweet for my taste. Regardless, it's gluten free and we enjoy going there sometimes, even though it's a bit of a drive. - > > I love cider, but not Ace as they put hops in it and I just don't like hops. > But I think Wyder's uses barley based caramel color – anyone know? > > > > Connie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I drink only Wyders, Ace is far too sweet for me. Better yet, Wyders has a press release stating that their products have been tested and are gluten-free. Though they disclaim it as a certification due to their processing plant setup. Here's the link: http://www.wyders.com/gluten.html skooter > > I love cider, but not Ace as they put hops in it and I just don't like hops. > But I think Wyder's uses barley based caramel color – anyone know? > > > > Connie > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I remember checking into Wyder's recently -- their Web site said both the pear and apple ciders are gluten free.
