Roots and Mystic Dragon by Appalachian Mountain Cidery

Happy Thursday, cider heads. It’s been a whirlwind at work but I *think* I am officially doing sales full time for work. Finally had some time with no plans later today so I got to both of my Appalachian Mountain Cidery cans my dear friend Kristina (@southernbeerbabe) gave me back in October. I didn’t know […]

Maeloc Organic Hard Apple Cider

Hello! Sorry I haven’t added a review in some time. I have TONS in the fridge and in storage so there isn’t an excuse to post more. My new roommate also likes cider so I have someone to share with. Maeloc Ciders are made in Cosecha de Galicia, Spain (North West part of the country) […]

Apologies

Hello Cider Fam! Sorry I haven’t updated in a long time. I haven’t had a moment to sit and analyze ciders. I have a whole fridge and filled so I am ready to roll. I am getting a new roommate who LOVES cider so I’ll have someone to share with. Happy about this because there […]

Key Lime Caribé Cider by Florida Beer Co.

Finally! I have reviewed my batch of ciders from the epic snow day of 2018! I’ve been a little sick so I’ve gathered all my notes from the past few weeks to crank out some reviews while I’m recovering. This flu is no joke! A few breweries have dabbled into the cider world and produced […]

Pineapple Caribé Cider by Florida Beer Co.

Have any of you noticed the surge of pineapple in the craft brewing world? Not just cider but beer also? I just reviewed a pineapple cider by Slim Pickens and I have a pineapple cider from Ace in the pipeline. Pineapple is a great flavor, most people enjoy it to the point they put it […]

Ananas by Slim Pickens

Has anyone else noticed the surge of pineapple ciders the past year or so? It’s a topic that comes up at the cidery at least once a quarter. It seems that Ace is the pioneer of pineapple these days, but there a few others that have more than a straight up “in your face” pineapple […]

Pomarina Brut Sidra by Cardin Family Estates

Had a little cabin fever during the snow storm so some friends and I walked to Bar Mercado at Krog Street Market and then Barcelona Wine Bar in Inman Park. Both restaurants had the Pomarina Sidra so we decided to give it a try. Cider: Pomarina Brut Sidra Maker: Cardin Family Location: Villaviciosa, Asturias, Spain Container: On Tap […]

Tamborrada Recap

Buenos Dias, Cider Lovers! Boy, it has been a weird week. Last Wednesday it was 15ºF and by Sunday it was 59ºF. On the big snow day, some friends and I went to two Spanish restaurants and had some sidra which will be in my next post. Today, I wanted to talk about my evening at […]

Cider Artisinal by AVAL

Ahhhh another snow day here in Atlanta. I slipped and fell while taking the first picture in this blog and that hurt enough for me to sit my butt home and work on a few tastings. No driving = drinking Honestly, I am sick of this “will it snow? will it not?” dance in Atlanta […]

Poma Áurea by Sidra Trabanco

Continuing the Spanish cider train with Poma Áurea by Sidra Trabanco out of Lavandera, Gijón, Asturias, Spain. Asturias is the leader in cider (or sidra) production in Spain. It’s very similar to how Burgandy, France is held in the world of wine. Spanish cider is usually poured by an expert server known as an escanciador. The bottle is held […]
