Women-owned businesses are a major part of the economy, and in this week’s episode with CEO & co-founder Lara Worm defines Bivouac Ciderworks as a “women-powered” space. When Lara talks about being “women powered,” she is not saying the brand is only for women. She is saying the business is intentionally championing people and ideas that have been overlooked. Even cider itself plays into that story as the quiet underdog of the drink world.

In this week’s episode with Lara Worm at Bivouac Ciderworks, I learned that cider can be dry, crisp, tropical, complex, food-friendly, naturally gluten-free, and way more nuanced than I realized. Bivouac is a “SoCal cider,” made for beach days, hikes, backyard dinners, and any other adventure you may take.

Some places are more than a place to grab a drink. They become the spot where people meet and slowly start to feel known. That’s what sociologists call a “third place,” not home or work, but a space where community can actually form. Lara Worm didn’t just build a taproom when she created Bivouac Ciderworks. She built a space where people can come to simply belong for a little while. Watch the full episode, now on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! #localbusiness #eatlocal #womanowned #cider

So many of us think an “adventurous” life has to look impressive, or wildly different from everyone else’s. But sometimes adventure is in the house you finally bought after saving for it, the life change you did not plan for, the career shift that scares you, or the path that only makes sense when you’ve finished the hike.

Hard cider is a lot more than “grown-up apple juice,” it’s as approachable as beer, but nuanced like wine. In this week’s episode, Lara Worm at Bivouac Ciderworks (North Park, San Diego) explained that cider is made by fermenting apple juice. Beer starts with grain, wine starts with grapes, and cider starts with apples or pears, which is why the process is actually closer to winemaking than brewing! That is why cider can be crisp, dry, tannic, fruity, complex, food-friendly, and naturally gluten-free.

A homicide prosecutor, a craft cider company, and building a San Diego space that feels like an outdoor adventure lodge, Lara Worm’s path to Bivouac Ciderworks is anything but predictable. In this episode of More Precious Than Rubies, I visited Bivouac Ciderworks in North Park, San Diego, to talk with co-founder and CEO Lara Worm about building a women-powered cider brand, creating a community-centered hospitality space, and teaching people that cider is so much more than an alternative to beer. Lara shares how her background in restaurants and homicide prosecution shaped her leadership, what cider actually is, and why Bivouac’s SoCal approach to cider is designed to be approachable, and rooted in community.
