I recently stumbled across Apple Atcha Cider (a play on words for "Appalachia").
They had 5 ciders available to taste - so I tasted them all. One was a hopped cider - which was quite nice. And I believe the last one I tasted had some mead added to it. All were quite nice. These are not the sickly sweet ciders one buys at the grocery store. These artisanal ciders are crisp, effervescent, light, and tasty.
John the cider maker, was quite affable, and he answered all my questions about the cidery and cider making. It was a cold day out, but cozy inside, and there were 3 of John's dogs hanging out - two of the older dogs were snoring away, while the third dog - named "Starbuckle" was definitely looking for some scritches and snuggles.
They did not have any cider bottled for purchase to go - that apparently is coming soon.
Check 'em out!
