Overview

We’re bringing cider to The Food Lab in a whole new way! In this hands-on collaboration, we’ll be cooking with Cider Corps’ craft hard ciders, using their natural sweetness and acidity to build dishes that are bold, balanced, and unexpectedly savory. From soups to ceviche, cider adds depth, brightness, and just the right touch of sweetness without overpowering the plate. Along the way, you’ll taste and learn how each cider works in the dish and why it pairs so well with a wide range of ingredients.

Cider Corps will be on-site pouring samples and curated pairings, guiding guests through how each cider enhances the dish and why certain styles shine in the kitchen. It’s part cooking class, part cider tasting, and 100% hands-on fun.
