Gentle readers - It seems some component/site associated with Office 365
wigged out and rejected Cider Digest 2022 for several dozen people. I
*tried* to deal with the problem and finally re-send to the addrs I could
figure out easily, although it took some time to sort it and quiet down
the problem.
STILL...no guarantee that I got all the failures. If you missed 2022,
which had some pretty good thoughts and ideas, you can find a copy at

Good comments from folks in the last digest.
One minor part of the marketing equation not addressed is the cost of
production. The primary ingredient in beer is barley. How many beermakers
are growing their own barley? Grain is very cheap compared to apples and
very very cheap compared to planting an orchard and waiting for apple
bearing trees. You can also store grain and hops and make a good dependable
product all year round--not possible with apples.
My point is this: If we try to market cider as a beer like product, then it
will be compared to beer and seen to be much more expensive and also not as
universal in drinkability as beer is. The one reason the consuming public
is still drinking cheap cider is that it is made from concentrate and other
cheap ingredients. Seems to me that if beer and cider are equivalent in the
consumers eyes, cider (good cider) will lose out.

I've been hearing speculation about the cider market in the U.S. but I
would like to add this perspective, in parts of this country (hill country,
mostly) cider was made throughout the entire 20th century.
Hard cider may come and go, but *cider* is forever.
What we take from it, or what we give to it varies, our needs vary, but I
am attracted to fact that *cider* is much bigger.
