The Chicago metropolitan area, also known as Chicagoland — includes Chicago (the third-largest city in the U.S.) as well as 14 counties in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Chicagoland is a foodie destination, with food and beverage options as diverse as the region. Over the past six or so years, Chicago’s collective passion for food has grown to include craft cider.

The presence of Chicago area cideries has continued to grow since Right Bee Cider officially launched in 2014.
