Press Release

Bend, OR: 6/26/23 — Avid Cider announced today that they will be relocating their production  facility to Redmond, Oregon. The move comes as part of Avid’s ongoing expansion efforts as a  result of the 2022 partnership with Blake's Hard Cider of Michigan. The Redmond production  facility is currently occupied by Silver Moon Brewing, with the transition expected to be  completed by November 2023. Avid Cider will take over the existing 15,000 square foot  production facility in Redmond, which includes a sizable tank farm to produce exciting new  products.  

"We're so excited to move into a fantastic new production facility," said Avid Cider's CEO and  Co-Founder, Samantha Roberts. "This move will allow us to increase our production capacity  and continue to meet the growing demand for our ciders and Seven Peaks Seltzer brand. We  look forward to working with the team at Silver Moon Brewing to ensure a smooth transition and  

continued success." she continued. Avid plans to keep all current production employees and will  plan to hire additional roles within the company as operations expand.  

The facility changes come at a perfect time for both organizations as Avid looks to ramp up  production capabilities and as Silver Moon focuses on better synergy and efficiencies with  operations at a single location. “Transitioning into a 15,000 sq ft production facility will not only  expand our capacity, but it allows us to elevate our quality, streamline efficiencies, and amplify  our overall production at Avid Cider Co.” said Avid Cider’s Operations Manager, Scott Krug.  “This will allow us to continue producing our high-quality cider for not only our friends and  followers in Central Oregon, but the Pacific Northwest and beyond.” he continued.  

The transition is expected to be completed by November of this year. The financial terms of the  deal were not disclosed. 

### 

Now in their 10th year as a cidery, Avid Cider was founded as a result of dissatisfaction with the  lack of variety and excessively dry or cloyingly sweet ciders available in the marketplace in  2013. They saw the opportunity to create hard cider that better balances the elements of a  flavor profile and satiates our thirst for a cider that is “just right.” They are on a mission to bring  out the best of the Northwest with their clean, natural, and locally sourced cider.
