Stem Ciders is an urban cidery headquartered in Lafayette, Colorado. Founded in 2013 by two passionate entrepreneurs with a deep appreciation for craft and a strong commitment to reviving the cider tradition, Stem produces cider founded on three main principles: quality, style, and tradition.
We opened our RiNo cider house doors in January of 2014 with three ciders on tap and a mission to share with you the cider traditions we grew up with, and that we know and love. In February of 2018, we opened our second location that is now our headquarters and is home to our cider making facility, farm, and eatery, Acreage. From the first batch of cider produced in 2011 – now known as Real Dry Apple Cider, to our seasonal ciders and monthly Firkin experiments, we’re committed to producing the highest quality cider that brings those traditions to the forefront.
