Cider Australia launches new website

9 Mar 2016

Cider Australia – the national body that represents the cider and perry industry in Australia – has launched a new website to better serve the industry and its members by promoting events, sharing information and making it easier to find out about each member.

The practical, new website features an interactive cider map of Australia showing the major cider producing regions, details on each member producer and a national events calendar listing cider-related festivals, conferences, competitions and educational opportunities.

President of Cider Australia Sam Reid said the new website will play an important role in helping to achieve Cider Australia’s vision which is to build a sustainable cider category in Australia.

“Cider Australia was established to undertake activities that improve the quality of ciders produced and marketed in this country, and our website is designed to provide easy access to information about these activities and cider generally”, Mr Reid said.

“We are a voluntary, non‐profit, member-based organisation and bring together people with an interest in cider to exchange knowledge on trends, production techniques and innovations.

“The new website features resources for the industry, policy makers and cider consumers, with historical information on the annual Australian Cider Awards – now entering its sixth year, along with Cider Australia news and policy submissions.

“Cider makers and enthusiasts from Australia and overseas can also use the site to learn more about Australian cider styles, our local producers and the products they make”, Mr Reid added.
