Meanings
plural microcideries
- rareA small-scale commercial cidery producing limited quantities of hard cider.
As microcideries open on farms, in cities and within microbreweries, hard cider and applejack are developing a stronger infrastructure, producers say. But distilleries that make high-proof spirits remain heavily regulated at both the federal and state level.
