Our
Ciders
Appalachian to the Core
Appalachian Heritage Inspired
Reaching to our mountain orchard roots, we combine modern ingenuity with historic grafting and pressing methods. Along the way we tossed in some trial-and-error, and a dash of luck.
The result is a truly Appalachian heritage inspired, hard cider,
pressed in house.
We start with semi-dry cider, mix in applewood smoked apples, then age it in locally sourced whiskey barrels, creating a perfectly balanced blend that has full-bodied mouthfeel and combines apple-tannin flavor, smoky apples and whiskey aroma.
Moonshot has a full-bodied mouthfeel, rich with apple-tannin flavor. It is balanced between sweet and dry, and well carbonated.
We combine ripe blueberries, hand picked from a farm in Hidden Valley, VA to make this crowd favorite; a balanced semi-sweet cider with natural blueberry flavor.
Ridgerunner Dry is carefully blended from regionally-sourced apples and crafted to emphasize the tannic character of local cider apple varieties. Bone dry and well carbonated.
Hellbender Hopped - Pressed from Appalachian apples and generously hopped by Kelly Ridge Farms. Hellbender Hopped takes semi-sweet to another level with aromatic and floral notes from the hops that hint towards citrus.
High Trestle - With this cider we blend tart cherry wine, made in-house, into a Winesap cider base to create this blend. This is cider up front with the slightest breath of tart cherry.
Springhouse is a classic semi sweet cider that highlights Virginia grown apples, presented with excellent aroma and tannic quality.
Whitetop Spruced Cider infuses our Moonshot Semi-Dry with hand-picked young spruce tips, making this herbal, slightly perfumed cider a surprise hit.
