Some of our favorites that are currently in production or seasonal. Check back weekly to see if they return to our tap list!
Ashmeads Kernel, Single-Varietal
A golden straw colored cider with light carbonation. Aromatics of cherry and turmeric up front, compounded by a slight minerality and spice.
Bone Dry
A blend of dessert apples fermented to dry with an ale yeast. This cider is clear and dry to the bone. Bone Dry serves as a straightforward variety with its clarity and crisp finish. Are we clear? Crystal.
Honey Razz
Impressive, you guessed it. Raspberries and honey! We ferment a base cider to dry, and flavor this cider on the back end with a NYS raspberry syrup produced in Hudson, NY, and honey from Sweet Things and Wild Thyme beehives that pollinated the apples that made this cider. Enjoy this full circle, a fruity fountain of flavor!
Rhode Island Greening, Single-Varietal
A citrusy, tangy cider fueled by an American heirloom apple (Rhode Island Greening) historically used for fresh and hard cider. We are beginning to graft this apple variety onto trees in our Orchard!
Piñata, Single-Varietal
A sharp, dry cider fermented from a blend of apple varieties, predominantly Piñata apples. Notes of pineapple and citrus lead the profile of this tropical cider.
Baldwin, Single-Varietal
A tart, dry cider full of apple aroma & flavor. From another American heirloom apple, the Baldwin.
Vino
Fermented from heirloom apples with a white wine yeast rather than an ale yeast, this cider drinks very citrusy and “green”, like Portuguese “Vinho Verde”
Ida Red
Made from all Ida Red apples! We have a lot of these trees in the Cidery Orchard, so it only made sense to make a cider out of all Ida Red apples. A dry, tart cider. The closest to a “sour” that we have.
Home Tree
A tribute to a beloved tree on the farm, taken down the spring of 2018 by wind after over 200 years rooted on top of the property. This cider had a small amount of ML fermentation which makes sharp acids into soft acids, this cider is just the kind of libation we’d share up at Home Tree.
Big Red
Made from a blend of apples from the Cornell University orchards off of the Cornell campus. Paying homage to SJ’s alma mater. Crisp apple taste and finishes with a hint of cherry. It even has a slight red tint to really stand out!
Gold Rush, Single-Varietal
Crafted from solely Gold Rush Apples. These guys are similar to a Granny Smith but slightly more acidic giving the cider a tarter taste.
Newtown Pippin, Single-Varietal
A new single varietal cider made with all Newtown Pippin apples. This cider is fermented to dry and has a tart, green apple taste.
Golden Russet, Single-Varietal
Fermented solely from the Golden Russet apple. An apple packed with sugar (alc. potential), and interesting flavor! Notes of spices, and cooked fruit. Not our own this year but another variety we have planted on our farm specifically for cider. Careful, Big Russ don’t mess around!
Northern Spy, Single-Varietal
This cider is produced solely from Northern Spy apples. Fairly low acid, this cider is fermented very close to dry, and drinks very smooth. 007 kind of smooth.
Wild Man
“Wild Man” named after a long time and deeply loved employee is the product of a natural fermentation with wild yeast. Taste a little different than the last batch of wild man? That’s because each batch is a little different and a little wild!
Cold Crash
Like taking a bite into a juicy apple! Fermentation is slowed down by cold crashing the cider earlier, leaving a natural sweetness and apple flavor.
Black Currant
New York State grown black currants give this apple cider a little touch of sweet and light berry flavor. Tart and fruity!
Bourbon Cyser
The honey in this cyser is from Sweet Things & Wild Thyme honey. The honey was first used to coat Orange County Distilleries Bourbon Barrels. This one finishes with a strong note of bourbon and charred oak.
Maple Vanilla
Maple Vanilla is fermented to dry and smoothed out with a beautifully balanced hint of local Finding Home Farms maple syrup and vanilla.
Dutch Speculaas
Available in a 4-pack of 16 oz. cans
A semi-sweet cider flavored with the same spices that go into a dutch speculaas cookie (just like Grandma Pennings used to make!) – cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cardamom and almond extract. Contains Nuts!
