Backwater began in 2017 as Backwater Cider Company at Lucky Town Brewing Company in Jackson MS, bringing craft hard cider to the great state of Mississippi and becoming the first and only cidery in the state. After the unfortunate closing of Lucky Town in 2019, Backwater Cider Company's future was unclear. Then in October 2020, Backwater was reborn in Old Towne Olive Branch MS. This new chapter of Backwater includes more than just hard cider; you can expect a diverse rotation of beer, cider, cyser, and session mead.
