The Fox Barrel company was co-founded in 2004 by Bruce Nissen and Sean Deorsey.[1] It was purchased by Minneapolis, MN based Crispin Cider Company in early 2010.
Fox Barrel perry and Crispin cider are both now made in a cidery in Colfax, CA located at 1213 South Auburn Street, directly off of Interstate 80, between Sacramento and Tahoe.
