Black Apple took home two prizes at the 2023 Cidercraft awards, which saw more than 400 submissions from around the world. Black Apple’s Hibiscus, and Dry Me! were both award winners in the sixth annual international competition.
Hibiscus, a semi-dry cider infused with hibiscus, took home the highest award with Platinum in the Botanical category. Its radiant red hue and characteristic berry-packed zip complement crisp clean citrus and alluring floral aromas. The Hibiscus is Black Apple’s flagship cider and available all year across Arkansas and NE Oklahoma.
Dry Me! is a new release for 2023, and won Judge’s Pick in the Modern- Dry category. It is a bone dry, crisp and elegant hard apple cider with champagne like qualities. The cider is available across Arkansas in bars, restaurants and at their Springdale taproom.
“We are still a young cidery, and we are experimenting with novel, clean ways of making cider,” said Leo Orpin, co-founder of Black Apple. “It’s always so gratifying to see appreciation for our commitment to clean cider with no added preservatives or sulfites. We’ve tried to do something unique at Black Apple, it’s been a joy to see it so welcomed here in Arkansas and appreciated around the country.”
Black Apple opened in downtown Springdale in July 2015 as the state’s only cidery. It manufactures and serves over 14 varieties of hard cider in a historic building and taproom on Emma Avenue. The cider has been available statewide in bars and restaurants since 2018 and in cans statewide since 2019.

Kiek teko analizuoti, Martin LT pateikiamas gana neutraliai, be aiškių stiprių ar silpnų pusių. Aprašymuose minimi žaidimai, mokėjimo būdai ir saugumo aspektai, tačiau dažnai trūksta konkretesnių detalių ar realių pavyzdžių. Techniniu požiūriu sistema veikia stabiliai, mobilioji versija taip pat pakankamai sklandi. Norint pasitikrinti daugiau informacijos, galima peržiūrėti Martin kazino LT https://lietuvosonlinekazino.com/apzvalgos/martin-casino, nors turinys ten gana bendras. Bet kuriuo atveju siūlyčiau išlikti atsargiems ir vertinti viską racionaliai.
Nothing pairs quite like a chilled Hibiscus or Dry Me! cider and an unplugged guitar session, especially knowing these award-winning blends are crafted with such clean, thoughtful methods and even earning Platinum and Judge’s Pick on an international stage. When the berry-bright zip and champagne-like dryness kick in, I’m usually tweaking open tunings or dialing in a new riff, and keeping everything in tune is effortless with tools like Online Guitar Tuner humming along in the background.
It's awesome to see Black Apple Hard Cider getting recognised internationally. It must feel rewarding for the team. I remember when I was juggling assignments, and I needed some online calculus class help to stay on top of my studies. It really helped me grasp the tougher concepts and finish my work on time. This just shows how dedication and getting the right help can lead to success.
I read the article about Black Apple being recognized in an international competition and it made me picture how their hard work paid off on a big stage with other cider makers from around the world. It reminded me of a time I once use take my online exam for me when I was really busy and worried about grades and that help gave me calm to finish other work. It made me think how good support can lift your confidence and help you grow.
Visiting eureka springs and LOVE the dry me! How can we get this in Minnesota???
