Producer’s Background:

Founded by Alex and Andrew Perez, Highpoint Cider embodies entrepreneurial spirit and passion for craft.

Combining Alex’s business acumen and Andrew’s biochemistry expertise, they created a cidery focused on crafting accessible, low-sugar ciders with vibrant flavors. Highpoint’s taproom is a local favorite, offering an inviting space for cider enthusiasts and mountain adventurers alike.
