Heavy Branch Cider

Crafted With Care. Premium & Unmistakably Dry.

A modern website for a handcrafted cider brand

Heavy Branch Cider is a Maryland-based craft cider brand known for its small-batch production and ancestral French-inspired recipes. Their focus on traditional techniques and natural ingredients sets them apart in a growing market of artisanal beverage makers. While their cider embodied quality and craftsmanship, their online presence didn’t reflect the same sophistication, and that’s where Firevibe Web Design came in.
