The apple of our eyes this summer 🍎 Beat the heat with a crisp Apple Quilt cider!
Tonight we’re enjoying Scarlet from Botanist and Barrel! This dry cider is made from locally harvested apples and is aged on Cabernet Franc skins. It results in a rosé colored wine with a lot going on. There are subtle spices like nutmeg and allspice with a floral note tying it together. There are red fruits, mostly strawberry and some cranberry. The natural yeast fermentation gives this a slightly wild character but it is definitely tame and easy drinking.
It's the First Day of Summer! 🌞 As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, there's no better way to kick off the season than with Carolina CiderFest! Join us this Saturday, June 22nd in South Slope, Asheville for an unforgettable celebration of summer and cider.

What’s up Cider Fans!
Our field correspondent is at it again!
This time she is bringing us a review of some selections!
At 8% abv, you would expect a dry cider, but the flavored offerings from Downeast are surprisingly on the sweet side. The beginning of the cider, right out of the fridge was a good balance of apple and added flavors, but as it warmed the others flavors took over. Their Overboard cider was semi sweet but had a the tiniest hint of the “funk” we love from the cider being unfiltered. Overall, not a bad choice of cider! Especially when you are hanging out at !!
🫐🍑BERRY PEACH IS BACK🫐🍑That's right friends! Get ready to enjoy your favorite summer beverage all season long. Huge peach and blueberry notes paired with a classic Blue Ridge Hard Apple Cider foundation creates the perfect warm weather flavor! Designed to ensure your cooler is full of great taste at backyard BBQs, pools and patio hangs. Available this weekend exclusively in our taprooms and on shelves next week!
May the Forth be with you! We released a small batch of Wookiee Juice for the occasion and we’re hosting a special Star Wars themed trivia tonight at 7pm!
