ARMADA, Mich.-– Blake’s Hard Cider (BHC), the largest craft cidery in the Midwest, announces it’s hard cider lineup will now be available across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

By growing, pressing and fermenting our own apples, we’ve been able to proudly and consistently introduce a truly authentic and uncompromised craft hard cider experience to our consumers,” said Andrew Blake, founder and owner of BHC. “We have been selective about which markets to bring our products into and we look forward to continuing to expand our goal of delivering genuine craft hard cider directly from our farm in Michigan.”
