The 2nd Annual NYICC Took Place on February 9th, 2020 in New York City

At the New York International Cider Competition, we were delighted with the quality of beer submissions that we received in our very first year. We were proud to showcase our 100+ cider submissions from 14 different countries.

Our trade-buyer-only judging panel judged the ciders both by their category and actual price. We are already excited for next year’s 3rd Annual New York International Cider Competition, slated for February 2021 in the heart of New York City at the 3 West Club.
