We are still pouring an amazing line-up of ciders as we head into the final weekend of Cider Week NYC (of COURSE there are two weekends in Cider Week… why do you ask?). In all seriousness, we have another killer guided tasting today at 4 p.m. (tickets here or $40 at the door) led by Cider Guide Eric West, who will be pouring an array of European and domestic ciders including three Irish Ciders! All three are founding members of cider ireland, the craft Irish cider guild, which is dedicated to making true Irish cider (as opposed to Magners so not from concentrate) from Irish apples. We’ll talk about the climate in Ireland, apple varietals and fermentation practices and taste!
Ciders we plan to sample (subject to substitution):
- *Craigies Ballyhook Flyer (Ireland)
- *Dan Kelly’s (Ireland)
- *Longueville (Ireland)
- *Villacubera (Lagar Sidra Cortina, Asturias, Spain) + one more additional Spanish sidra
- *Millstone Farmgate (Maryland)
- *Slyboro- Black Currant and Hidden Star (NY State)
- *Uncle John’s (Ohio)
- *Aaron Burr (NY State)
- *Weidman (Germany)
And if you don’t make it to the tasting, we’ll have some of these (and many additional) ciders available for purchase by the glass all weekend long!
