About cider names

A cider name does one of two jobs, and this list holds both. A label name goes on one bottle, can or tap handle: Windfall Gold, Barn Door Scrumpy, Frozen Bough Ice Cider. A house name belongs to the business that presses the fruit: Leaning Ladder Cidery, Swift Brook Cider Mill, Wetherby Orchards. As a rule of thumb, a name that ends in a business word such as Cidery, Ciderworks, Cider Mill, Cider House, Orchards or Co. is a house name. Almost everything else is a label.

Labels lean on the orchard year: blossom, windfalls, ladders, pressing cloths, barrels and the winter wassail. Many also say what is in the glass. Scrumpy signals a rough, cloudy farmhouse cider, perry is made from pears instead of apples, a cyser is apple juice fermented with honey, and ice cider is made from apples or juice concentrated by freezing and drinks like a dessert wine.

A share of the labels start from a fruit variety. Kingston Black, Dabinett, Yarlington Mill and Foxwhelp are classic English cider apples, Roxbury Russet and Newtown Pippin are old American ones, and Blakeney Red and Hendre Huffcap are perry pears. The rest are seasonal and flavored releases, plus a handful of puns for a lighter brand.

How to choose cider names

  • Decide first whether you are naming the business or one release. A house name such as Thistle Bank Cidery has to sit above every label you ever make, so keep it broad. A label like Cranberry Frost can be as specific as the batch.
  • Put the style in the name when it helps the buyer. Scrumpy, Perry, Cyser, Ice Cider, Dry or Rosé sets expectations before anyone reads the back label.
  • Name a variety only when it is in the bottle. Kingston Black Single Variety or Newtown Pippin Brut is a promise about the fruit.
  • Say it across a noisy bar. Short labels with hard sounds, such as Bone Dry, Flint Dry or Pip & Stem, are easier to order than a long phrase and they fit a tap handle.
  • Before you print labels, search the name yourself among the drinks brands in your market. Labeling rules for alcohol differ by country and state, so read the ones that apply to you.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good name for a cider?

A good cider name tells the drinker something true and is easy to order. Labels such as Windfall Gold, Hedgerow Gold and Second Pressing borrow from the orchard, while Bone Dry and Sunday Sweet state the style outright. For a lighter brand, puns like Pear Pressure and Core Blimey stick in the memory.

What is the difference between a cider name and a cidery name?

A cidery name is the house name of the business, such as Leaning Ladder Cidery, Millrace Ciderworks or Swift Brook Cider Mill. A cider name is the label for one product from that house, such as Barn Door Scrumpy or First Freeze Ice Cider. Most makers pick a broad house name and then give each release its own label.

Are the apple and pear varieties in these names real?

Yes. Kingston Black, Dabinett, Yarlington Mill, Roxbury Russet, Newtown Pippin and Blakeney Red are real cider apples, heirloom apples and perry pears, and so are the other varieties the labels are built on. The label names themselves are ideas only, so use one only if that fruit is in your blend.

Can I use these names for a homemade or a commercial cider?

For a homemade batch, a gift bottle or a story, take any name you like. For a cider you plan to sell, treat the list as a starting point: search the name among existing drinks brands where you trade and read the local labeling rules before you commit to it.
