Hello, cider enthusiasts! What do you look for or value most in a cider house? What does our cider community truly enjoy? Would you prefer events like bingo or trivia? A lively atmosphere with loud music, or a more relaxed vibe with soft music? What's missing from the cider houses you visit that you'd love to see or experience?

Ugh! 9 times out of 10 (11?) I’m a HUGE 1911 fan! They’re definitely on the sweeter side so I’ll get one when I build a 6-pack at Trader Joe’s and have loved most of the others.

This bummed me out ! I should have known better but it’s spooky fireside season, but I thought if anyone could do it it was them for my taste.

If I could still handle my whiskey I could maybe see cutting it. As I’ve been typing this I’ve gotten about 1/4 through and it’s kinddddd of redeeming itself. And at the end of the day, it’s a beautiful autumn afternoon so all is well. Just wanted to scream into the internet ether for a second!

Happy fall yall 💘

My total wine finally had in store Schilling Hard Cider Moon Berries 🤩🍷🥰 also picked up a few other items that seemed promising. Cheers 🍻

I found this yummy cider at Whole Foods. It is a Tropical mimosa passionfruit & orange cider. It’s super yummy & it’s slightly sweet yet also mildly sour & dry.

It's like beer and cider had the perfect boozy baby with a hint of black tea. Packs a decent punch as well with the ABV%

Started brewing 2 months ago and I’m hooked! And good cider ideas for my next brew? Did apple, pinneaple, blueberry and now cherry!

City Steading Brews on yt has been my guide and inspiration

I had to stop drinking beer a few years ago due to a gluten intolerance so I switched to hard cider! Recently I have been getting really weird reactions after I drink hard cider - I thought I was specific to the Toasted Pumpkin seasonal flavor but it's happening with others. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Im getting a hot flush face and itchy eyes and throat. Am I wrong to assume the apples used do not have pesticides?

Hi everyone -

I write a newsletter that features interviews with food and drink folk, and I recently chatted with Peter Yi of Brooklyn Cider Company. He mades wild, minimal-intervention cider and I thought folks here would like it since he's very much a cider nerd.

If you're ever in the Hudson Valley in New York, I highly recommend his orchards for a visit. Incredible ciders and wood-fired pizzas!
