Angry Orchard Walden, NY www.angryorchard.com, @angryorchard

The Angry Orchard is a 60-acre farm featuring a historic apple orchard in the New York Hudson River Valley. A farm since the mid-1700s, the Orchard’s first apple trees date back at least one hundred years, with the land converted to a full-time apple orchard by the 1950s. The Hudson Valley's rich apple growing history and the exciting craft cider culture make this Walden, New York location a particularly good fit for Angry Orchard. By exploring projects with local universities, community organizations and other cideries, the cider makers at Angry Orchard are working to maximize apple harvests and plant traditional cider apple trees – which have been virtually nonexistent in the US since Prohibition – to test which varieties grow the best in New York and make the best cider.

Bad Seed Cider Highland, NY www.badseedhardcider.com, @badseedcider

Here at Bad Seed Cider, we make hard apple cider that is extremely dry and incredibly strong. We ferment to full dryness (meaning there's 0g sugar in most everything), and we never, ever add backsweetener to our products. Our flagship Dry Hard Cider, which tastes like an apple prosecco, is fermented with a sauvignon blanc yeast, and is the first truly sugar free cider to be put into a can. Using apples grown on our home farm in Highland, NY (our family has been on the same land since 1855), we manage every single aspect of production, from growing the apples to pressing the juice to fermenting to bottling or canning. Crack open some Bad Seed and see what everyone is talking about!

Brooklyn Cider House New Paltz, NY www.brooklynciderhouse.com, @brooklynciderhouse We're from Brooklyn, by way of Korea and Europe, but we first fell for hard cider in the Basque Country, where it flows freely from giant casks. Between sips and spirited conversation, we saw a beautiful and uncanny connection between the forgotten early American and the vibrant Basque cider traditions and we knew we had to bring that home. So, we quit our jobs and went apple picking, literally. Our orchard is in New Paltz, the heart of the Hudson Valley, and our ciders are made only once a year using fresh, in season, handpicked apples. Never chaptalized or acidified, we believe in minimal intervention. We prefer to let Mother Nature take its course and not rush the cider making process.

Product Info Tasting Notes Kinda Dry: 12oz bottle / 750ml bottle - sixtel kegs - Transports you to an orchard on a crisp, fall day. Fresh tart apples greet you, waking the palate up. But give it a second and it transforms into a friendly finish that is an ideal picnic companion. Like your favorite jeans, our Kinda Dry is ready for anything. Half Sour: 12oz bottle / 750ml bottle - sixtel kegs - half bbl kegs - Our most thought-provoking cider. It begins with the aromas of wild flowers and honey, followed by a hint of pickled pear. Take a sip and pow! It hits the palate with a wave of citrus fruit flavors that are edgy, refreshing and tickle your tongue – ultimately providing endless possibilities for pairings. Still Bone Dry: 750ml bottle - Warning: not like other ciders. With zero carbonation and zero sugar, it’s the driest cider that has passed our lips. Aged for 12 months on the lees and 6 months more in the bottle-- unfiltered--it's as zesty and racy as a cider can get. Bone Dry: 12oz bottle / 750ml bottle - sixtel kegs - half bbl kegs - A throwback to the original American dry cider. In that spirit we make Bone Dry with a higher concentration of heirloom and bitter cider apples, age it on the lees for 10-12 months, and then lightly carbonate it. It walks a tightrope of finesse AND intensity. Its clean, crisp mouthfeel is balanced by bitter notes and, of course, a spine of acidity. 19

Our story begins in the orchard. In 1989, we purchased the orchard and began to learn how to cultivate fruit. Local apple growers and extension agents taught us the basics and contributed to our early success. Our first product, in fact our entire business, started as a result of an abundant apple crop that lead us to experiment with hard cider. We were soon hooked and we applied for and received our farm winery license and cider producer license in 1993. Our doors opened to the public in the fall of 1994.

Eve’s Cidery Van Etten, NY www.evescidery.com, @evescidery Eve’s is an orchard-based cidery producing traditional method ciders at the intersection of the Southern Finger Lakes and the Northern Appalachian Plateau. Our best days are spent outside in the sun and rain growing apples on steep hillsides and rolling them down to the cidery. James and Autumn started Eve’s Cidery in 2001, using apples grown at James’ u-pick orchard. Eve’s has evolved into a cidery that grows apples for cider-making only, selecting specific varieties and intentionally growing them for cider quality: organically grown apples that bring concentrated flavors, structure and acidity to their ciders.

James brings the wisdom and masochism of a sixth generation orchardist. Autumn has the groundbreaking ideas and a brilliant palate. Ezra holds the whole thing together with a steady and dark sense of humor. We work hard, we are often uplifted by the result, and we are battered and awed by the outside world together.

Hardscrabble Cider North Salem, NY www.hardscrabbleciderny.com, @hardscrabblecider Hardscrabble Cider is the epitome of a hand-crafted, farm-to-bottle beverage. All stages of the process take place on the farm – from growing, picking and cleaning the apples, to pressing, fermenting and bottling the final product. The cider is pressed from a blend of all 10 apple varieties grown on site. Fermentation is meticulously monitored and filtering takes place several times to create the cleanest, freshest taste possible. In the end, the cider is hand-bottled and capped and then batch pasteurized to ensure stability. The process makes for a handful of long days but also makes, as we like to say, “Cider worth drinking”. Order Info Cider Producer Contact Info

Naked Flock Hard Cider Warwick, NY www.applewoodwinery.com, @nakedflock Where does the name Naked Flock come from? It's a bit of local folklore, a story about a local pastor who received a gift of Poppy seeds from Moby Dick author Herman Melville. Yes, those kind of Poppies... Some geese got into the flowers and became so stoned that they were thought dead and plucked for their feathers. They awoke and staggered around naked which created quite a stir in the Pastors own flock, who demanded they be put down. But the Pastor stood his ground. It's a tribute to Melville and the power of nature that is a theme in his works. And we like the name because our cider is made from 100% Hudson Valley apples with no added colorings, flavorings, or grape spirits - Naked. Our cider is crafted for people who crave unique flavor and are on the hunt for quality.

Product Info Tasting Notes Stone Fort Reserve: A blend of our orchard’s no- spray, non-fertilized apples, and various wild and feral apples foraged from the surrounding woods. Stone Fort is about twenty-five percent forage. Tart and lip- smacking, grapefruit, lemongrass, big apple nose with faint pipe smoke, finishes long. Wild Forage: Simply, this cider is pressed from wild apples we have foraged while wandering the northern Catskill Mountains with a burlap sack. It’s how we started, and to this day it’s still our favorite method of crafting cider. Bright and fruity, a wee bit astringent, wet straw on the back-end. Honey Hopped: Our handcrafted cider meets locally grown, organic, NY State Hops, and is back-blended with a touch of our farm’s raw honey — the very honey collected in the pollination of the apple trees from which we press our cider. The hops not only provide a cannabis aroma and a piney top-note, but they help to stabilize the cider, allowing us to crash fermentation a little bit early, leaving some of the honey unfermented. Just a hint of sweet, but more importantly, a hint of distinct flavors you can only find in raw honey; plus — mint, conifer, weed. Hunter Berry: Our signature cider infused with local and wild berries. On the fizzy side. Light plum and strawberry notes, with mellow black current on the back end. 43
