MCA & Friends Fall Meet-Up at Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill

Join the Michigan Cider Association for our first Quarterly Meet-Up - an evening designed for MCA members and the greater cider community to connect, learn, and grow together.

We’re kicking things off in a big way at Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill, one of the largest and most influential cideries in the world! This is your chance to learn first-hand from the Blake’s team about what’s worked - and what hasn’t - on their journey to becoming a household name in cider.

Here’s what to expect:

Networking & Refreshments – Mingle with fellow cidermakers, enthusiasts, and industry professionals while enjoying refreshments, including Blake’s beverages straight from the source!

Data Insights Presentation – Get the latest industry trends and learnings from Casey Baxter, Director of National Accounts, Blake's Beverage Co., and data committee member for the American Cider Association, to take back to your own work.

Guided Product Tasting – Explore a curated selection of Blake’s ciders with Andrew Blake, Founder and CEO, Blake’s Beverage Co., including crowd favorites, innovative standouts, and a few “lessons learned.”

Connection & Collaboration – Build new relationships and strengthen existing ones within Michigan’s vibrant cider community.

This is the start of something new and exciting for Michigan cider! Whether you’re an MCA member or considering joining, you won’t want to miss being part of this first gathering.
