Lockhorn Hard Cider is a small, family-owned cidery. We specialize in crafting dry and semi-dry ciders of the highest quality.
Our distinctly clean and crisp style is based on using all-natural fruit ingredients free of added sugars, sulfites, or chemical stabilizers.
Because we do not over sweeten, our ciders most subtle flavors are preserved and convey a delicate complexity that is not masked by overwhelming sweetness.
Our ciders are delicately crafted in Downtown Bozeman using the best of old world wine making techniques and our own uniquely Montana style.
