Kurant cider is a small batch, hand crafted cidery operated by Owners, Joe Getz and Michael Meyers out of Lansdale, PA. Kurant operates as an independent cidery bringing fresh new ideas and gluten free ingredients to the ever growing cider and beer scene of Philadelphia. Utilizing the shared space of a 7 barrel system for cider making we have combined years of experience spanning from a significant home-brewing background to industry experience. Our goal is to make tasty, enjoyable ciders that stand out for the unique ingredients used. Kurant offers three ciders including Daily, a semi-sweet crisp traditional cider with pleasant acidity; Tropic, a cider infused with a citrus explosion of pineapple blended with crisp apple; and Earth, a uniquely hopped cider carrying all the floral and piney characteristics of hops minus the bitterness. We will continue to add creative and exciting new ideas to our products and hope to see you soon around the craft scene of Philadelphia. We have recently combined our efforts with Tech in Motion to bring our quality product to their already outstanding networking events!
