We are thrilled to share that New York was incredibly well-represented at this year’s GLINTCAP (the Great Lakes International Cider and Perry Competition). As one of the world's most prestigious and highly regarded cider competitions, GLINTCAP brings together an esteemed, world-class panel of judges from across the country and around the globe.

New York’s presence wasn't just felt in the bottles, but behind the scenes as well. Our very own Executive Director, Scott Ramsey, had the pleasure of working hard as a competition Steward, while NYCA’s Adrian Luna and Ann Bliss were deeply honored to serve on the expert judging panel.

It was a fantastic showing for our state’s producers, demonstrating the incredible quality, diversity, and dedication of the New York craft cider community. Below are some of the standout highlights and medal winners from across the state. You can also view the full, official commercial results at the Michigan Cider Association.
