About Downeast Cider
We aspire to build an enduring company with a world-class brand, known as an extraordinary place to work. It’s been 15 years since our first batches of unfiltered cider were fermented in the dorms of Bates College, Maine, and while we’ve gained 115 new teammates and 1.6 million cases of tasty drinks - with a growing assortment beyond cider - we remain 100% founder-owned. We’re a scrappy team that enjoys the hard work of creating a company because we get to work on fun things with people we like.
We like to hire the way we like our cider, unfiltered. With the understanding that we can learn and grow from each other’s differences, we are proud to hire regardless of gender, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age, or anything else that makes us who we are.

The Company
What We Do
in 2011, we left college with a killer recipe for hard cider. we wanted to remind people of the way that cider should be. fresh, unfiltered, delicious.
we aren't beginners anymore, but the idea behind our cider and our business remains the same. we've gone from a dorm room to a 16,500 ft cider house in the east boston shipyard with the best team in the city and a characterful taproom.
today, you can find us across new england, and we've expanded into new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, dc, virginia, ohio, and wisconsin, minnesota, indiana & colorado with no signs of slowing down.
our employees are unfiltered, talented and awesome. they kick ass when it's time to get to work and throw down at company parties.
we’re on the path to win the game, you might as well join us. get in touch.
