One of the prerequisites for being a salesperson for ? That you enjoy our cider! As you can imagine, enthusiasm really counts for something when introducing our very dry, wild-fermented, made-in-Ithaca ciders to customers at the Greenmarket. Delighted that our wonderful Cian is a fan. No this isn’t just a staged marketing ploy! If you don’t believe us, let her tell you herself: Please stop by and see her at the Union Square market. We’d love to have you as a fan too!

When Steve and I started 7? years ago, we spoke like kids about how “neat” it would be if our wild-fermented, keg-conditioned, dry cider were on tap in NYC. At a really well-curated, beautiful watering hole where local people appreciate artisanal brews and ciders—where the owners and staff actually have the same un-jaded passion for craft as we do. in Prospect Heights, BKLYN is that place! As you can see, and as I am seeing right now, our tangy, juicy, little-bit-funky Mullein #3 is on tap right now! The gods of cool will be horrified to know that I couldn’t contain my pride, and I exuberantly confided in a couple of fellow bar mates that I (and my dear friend Steve) make it! Now Morgan, one of the machers here, tells me the Mullein keg is about to kick. Not to worry! My friends here (including Morgan and owner Josh) kindly ordered 6 other blends of our ciders, that I assume will be featured at Gold Star Beer Counter regularly over the coming weeks. Our Thanksgiving came early this year!! I’m feeling gratitude — and, um, in high spirits. Thanks, Gold Star. Thanks, Brooklyn. Cheers!

THRILLED that dry artisanal hard cider is now on the shelves of the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn. If you are a member, please pick up a bottle —or three— of our best-selling Smokehouse #5 cider, and please tell your fellow members! We hope to be there forever.

My wife, Erin, became a member of the coop in the late Eighties. When we got hitched in the late Nineties, one of the conditions of our marriage — and of the coop’s — was that I too become a member. And THAT meant, like Erin, and other members, I had to work a once-a-month, 3-hour shift at this volunteer-run grocery store. Which made me grumpy at first. But, I soon got with the lovable program. The Park Slope Food Coop—with its amazing selection of groceries, good prices, idiosyncratic rules, and genuine community feel — is a prime example of why Brooklyn is Brooklyn.

Eventually, we moved to Ithaca, NY, and a number of years later, I embarked on Career 3, Cider Maker. Since then, I’ve always dreamt of having our products at the PSFC. Vive la Park Slope Food Coop and New York Cider Company!

Delighted that our dry, artisanal Smokehouse #5 made it into an exquisite fall cocktail at Rolo’s, the restaurant/bar/gathering spot in Ridgewood, Queens, NYC! Meet the Apple Highball, a combo of Calvados and pommeau with a hint of Genepy—and topped off with our sparkling cider! And as with our cider, it’s not syrupy sweet either. Kat, our talented sales manager, says it’s “crisp, refreshing” maybe even “savory” with a lingering, rich “warm” apple finish. Please go to Rolo’s and order this lovely drink!
