Woodchuck Hard Cider is a brand of hard cider produced by the Vermont Hard Cider Company, LLC, in Middlebury, Vermont. In 2011 it was the top-selling hard cider in the United States, capturing approximately 47% of the hard cider market in the country.

Cider In The United States
In the United States, the definition of ''cider'' is broader than in Europe. There are two types: one being the traditional fermented product, called ''hard cider'', and the second ''sweet'' or ''soft cider''. However, in some regions, ''cider'' is the alcoholic version, whether made from apples or pears, and ''apple cider'' is the non-alcoholic version.
