They're a micro-cidery located in the Sierra Foothills that is focused on quality, traditional ciders."

Morris Distributing is providing Fox Barrel ciders to establishments in San Francisco, Sonoma, Napa and Marin counties and El Dorado is serving Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties.
