Eazy Apple: The Crisp, Craft Cider That Keeps It Real
Jefferson County Ciderworks introduces Eazy Apple—a light, refreshing cider that proves simplicity and quality can go hand in hand.
Fairfield, Iowa – In a market full of sugary drinks and fleeting trends, Jefferson County Ciderworks proudly introduces Eazy Apple, a clean, crisp cider that stands out for its simplicity and authenticity. With a refreshing 4.5% ABV, Eazy Apple offers today’s drinkers an approachable, no-nonsense alternative to the overwhelming flood of overly sweet, artificial beverages.
“You can add alcohol to anything, but that doesn’t make it craft,” says Jesse Narducci, co-owner and head cider maker. “People are looking for something honest and easy to enjoy—and that’s what Eazy Apple is all about.”
Craft Cider is Rising—Big Beer Can’t Keep Up
As large beer brands continue to experiment with hard seltzers and novelty drinks, many fail to deliver the real quality that consumers crave. The collapse of brands like Molson Coors’ Saint Archer highlights the struggle. In contrast, craft cider continues its upward trajectory, driven by brands like Jefferson County Ciderworks that stay true to the fundamentals: well-balanced, naturally crafted ciders made with real ingredients.
“Eazy Apple is light and refreshing without all the gimmicks, and that’s why it resonates with today’s drinkers,” says Narducci.
A Lineup of Award-Winning Classics and Creative Innovations
While Eazy Apple is making waves, Jefferson County Ciderworks is built on a foundation of well-balanced, award-winning ciders. The cidery’s Hibiscus Rosé, a core offering and multiple gold medal winner, showcases the craft and care that go into every product. The portfolio also includes (OG) Original Apple, Sour Cherry, and innovative seasonal releases like Apple Pie and Cranberry Orange. With flavors ranging from bold experiments like Lemon Lavender to familiar comforts like Peach Tea, Jefferson County has something for every palate.
“We craft cider for everyone—whether you’re looking for a refreshing summer sipper like Eazy Apple or a more complex cider like our award-winning Hibiscus Rosé,” says Katie Greenfield, co-owner and business strategist. “Every cider we make is balanced and honest, and that’s why our customers keep coming back.”
Consumers Demand Real Ingredients—and Jefferson County Delivers
As Millennials and Gen Z drinkers continue to move away from mass-produced alcohol, they’re seeking out beverages with real, clean ingredients. Jefferson County Ciderworks meets this demand with ciders that are transparent, naturally crafted, and free from artificial additives.
“We don’t hide anything in our ciders,” Narducci jokes. “You can taste the apple, and everything else is real, too. That’s what sets us apart.”
2025: The Year Jefferson County Ciderworks Leads the Midwest Craft Cider Movement
With craft cider continuing to grow—by over $1 billion in the last decade—2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year for Jefferson County Ciderworks. Already the best-selling and most award-winning cider brand in Iowa, Jefferson County is ready to expand across the Midwest, bringing its lineup of well-balanced, honest ciders to a wider audience.
“We’ve made our mark in Iowa with our full range of authentic ciders, and now we’re ready to lead the charge across the Midwest,” Greenfield adds. “There’s something in our lineup for everyone, and we’re excited to show people what real craft cider tastes like.”
