Nitty's Cider

What Nitty's Cider does

Nitty's Cider is a privately held craft cidery founded in 2018 by Master Nitty, who developed his production expertise working in the cider industry after graduating from the University of Oregon. The company produces its cider at an in-house manufacturing facility located at 53653 S River Road, Clarksburg, California, and sells the output almost exclusively through direct-to-consumer channels. Its commercial footprint consists of a single tasting room at 3201 Folsom Blvd, Sacramento, California, operating Monday through Friday from 3pm to 9pm and Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 9pm, where visitors purchase ciders by the glass or in growlers.

The business model is a classic craft-beverage DTC operation: revenue is generated one transaction at a time at the taproom, with no disclosed wholesale, distributor, e-commerce, or B2B accounts. Customer segments are described horizontally as local cider drinkers in the Sacramento and Clarksburg area, and the company offers event-inquiry contact handling ([email protected]) in addition to a general contact email ([email protected]), suggesting private events at the taproom as an ancillary revenue layer. There is no disclosed pricing, headcount, funding, partnership, or distribution data beyond the two physical locations.

The product surface is narrow: a core craft cider line produced in Clarksburg and sold on tap at the Sacramento tasting room, with the brand positioned around the founder's craft credentials and local reputation rather than awards, certifications, or intellectual property. The company holds no disclosed patents, trademarks, certifications, or third-party endorsements, and operates only within California. No digital product, app, API, AI capability, or marketing channels beyond the company website are documented in the available material.
