St. Vrain Cidery

What St. Vrain Cidery does

St. Vrain Cidery, LLC operates a single hard-cider taproom at 350 Terry Street in Old Town Longmont, Colorado. Founded in October 2016 by Dean Landi, the company self-describes as Colorado's largest all-hard cider taproom, featuring 36 rotating taps that serve its own award-winning ciders (Dry Botanical, Dry Ginger, Key Lime, Pink Guava, Balaton Cherry, Gingerbread, Dry Chokeberry) alongside Colorado craft ciders, beers, meads, cocktails, and non-alcoholic kombucha. In October 2024 the company extended its product shelf via the Apple Ginger Pommeau Series, a co-developed barrel-aged apple brandy collaboration with Dry Land Distillers.

The business runs a direct-to-consumer hospitality and events model. Revenue is generated from on-premise pour sales, Pommeau bottle sales ($54 per bottle), food truck rotations plus BYOF and snack boxes, ticketed workshops (yoga $22, modern calligraphy $60, creative calligraphy $54.13, candle-making $45, art cart $20, comedy ~$22.56), gift cards via Square, and free/paid live music, open mic, art shows, and book club programming. Customer segments are local Longmont residents and regional visitors, with secondary use cases around private events. The venue is family- and pet-friendly with two shaded patios.

The company is a privately held LLC, headquartered in Colorado, with 1-10 employees, no subsidiaries, no disclosed revenue, and a single 2021 SEC exempt securities offering of $275,000 sold against a $600,000 target. Distribution is single-channel (the Longmont taproom), geography is restricted to Colorado, and the company shows no AI/ML capability, no patents, and no institutional investor backing. Leadership is founder-controlled; one source block lists Cindy Miller Landi as CEO & co-founder and Daniel Daugherty as Co-founder/cidermaker, which conflicts with the management-team record crediting Dean Landi as sole founder, president, and CEO.
