About Schilling Cider

Schilling Cider was founded in a garage in 2012. And while the glycol chiller that we run today couldn't even fit in that garage, the same spirit for making bold, flavor-forward ciders and always figuring out how to do it better lives on today.

Schilling Cider is the second largest cider producer in the US thanks to the team of people who work across the company.

That growth has been enabled with the installation of a high speed canning line capable of 1,200 cpm. We're looking to add team members to help care for our equipment and improve processes.

While it is no longer in a garage, the same culture and drive are there in what we do today and what we're laying the groundwork for tomorrow.

Schilling Cider exists to craft world-class beverages to elevate life's everyday moments. Our values guide the work we do every day and help us create an engaging, fun, and rewarding experience.
