In addition to being named the top small cider producer, Bauman’s won three “Best in Show” awards, which are given to the top three ciders in each of 20 categories. This includes Mountain Rose, which placed 2nd in Rosé ciders, Bourbon Vanilla Cider which placed 2nd in Speciality Wood-Aged Ciders, and Strawberry Mojito Cider which placed first amongst 151 entries in the Speciality Cider category. 

Bauman’s also received a total of seven gold, nine silver and a bronze medal, recognizing the wide range of ciders they are producing. 

“As we have grown and expanded the breadth of our ciders, we have stayed true to our focus on making high quality, approachable ciders with as many ingredients as possible coming from Bauman Farms. It’s super exciting for us to see that focus on quality recognized by the judges at Glintcap, especially given the amazing ciders being produced by so many incredible cider makers around the world,” said Christine Walter, owner and head cider maker for Bauman’s Cider.
