Boy meets girl. Boy makes cider to woo girl. Now he's right beside her. Right Bee Cider.
What started as a romantic gesture grew into Chicago's first cidery, owned and operated by a local husband-and-wife team. Small business, small batches, and a ton of love sent your way with every sip!
Charlie Davis and Katie Morgan met in Chicago in 2011. After noticing Katie's affinity for hard cider, Charlie used his passion for fermentation and professional experience to make her a hard cider as a surprise for her birthday. His efforts to woo her were successful, and the rest is history.
Right Bee Cider officially launched in 2014, six months after their wedding, and after two years of planning and preparation.
In the beginning, with just two people in their company, they worked tirelessly to bring Chicagoans the best cider possible by creating, packaging, and distributing the cider themselves, as well as hand painting tap handles, loading their equipment, and everything in-between. Much has changed since the early days of the business, but one thing remains the same, Right Bee Cider is truly a labor of love.
We are passionate about the art of cider-making, made by hand with natural ingredients and sustainable practices. Our cider brought us together, and we hope it continues to bring others together as well.
