Formerly known as fall spice. Our take on a traditional spiced cider. We fermented this off dry cider with our house English yeast before adding just the right amount of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove.

Some apples are so special that they make a perfect cider without the need to be blended with other varieties. We think that Northern Spy fits the bill in terms of character, acidity, and tropical aromatics. This heirloom apple has been propagated since the 1800’s and is prized for both it’s pie and cider making qualities. We fermented this traditional dry cider and conditioned it in the bottle to express its full flavor potential. Read Less

A special release in collaboration with the Knickerbocker Tavern in Altoona. Known for their taste in and extensive collection of  beer and spirits, our cider makers worked closely with their team to create a crisp, bubbly cider with bright fruit character. The base hard cider was elevated with additions of raspberries and Hallertau Blanc hops from Germany, which add notes of passionfruit and gooseberry. It’s like drinking a Sauvignon Blanc in a raspberry patch adjacent to a hop farm. Read Less

Apples & Honey is a cider-mead hybrid that defies definition. To craft this product we fermented a spring wildflower honey mead and aged it in french oak barrels for 8 months. We then blended the mead with our sweet cider to create a delicately balanced and full bodied libation.The two products were fermented separately as it enabled us to have more control over the final blend. We invite you to toast to health and hope as we usher in a new season. Read Less
