Woodchuck Cider sales growing rapidly, planning expansion
The Addison Independent reported in November that the company is beginning work on a $20+ million expansion soon, one that will bring capacity to 600,000 barrels according to Craft Business Daily.
[via Vermont Hard Cider CEO, Bret Williams] "We finished up 30% in 2011, with growth through the 2 million CE mark" Bret told CBD. Shippings totaled 3 million cases last year, 2.3 million of them Woodchuck. That’s 165,000 barrels of Woodchuck, 240,000 total-company, to include Strongbow stateside [the No. 2 US cider brand after Woodchuck], Wyders and Woodpecker.
