(PostandCourier) - In the not-too-distant past, hard cider drinkers in this country might have been reluctant to say they enjoyed a sip. But thanks to the craft brew movement, those times are changing.A limited amount of hard cider was available in this country a decade ago. It was mass produced, overly sweet and quickly dismissed as a “girlie” drink. Now small-batch makers are creating bolder or more nuanced ciders, and they’re earning respect from even hard-core beer drinkers, male and female.
