About Aidan Currie
Master cider maker and executive operations manager. Obsessed with artful fermentation and organoleptic exploration. A creative, analytical and technologically savvy business leader who loves a challenge. My background has shaped me into an interdisciplinary problem solver. I have worked as a business manager, business consultant, architectural draftsman, high school teacher, community organizer, and professional kombucha brewer. My current role as Swift Cider\'s founder and operations manager is rapidly developing my expertise in commercial cider production, branding, trademark law, alcohol regulation compliance, and small business development. I love building community, especially when it surrounds delicious food and drink. Occasionally, I teach cider, beer, soda and kombucha making classes, and I am always interested to learn about other food cultures.
