Blueberry cider is one of many reasons to stop in to Old Bridge Brewing Company and have a pour!

Some of the best things on our menu start with someone saying, “You’ve gotta try this.”🫐

Lately, that’s been Bud & Bird Blueberry Cider.

Light, crisp, and packed with blueberry flavor, it’s one of our newest taps and one that’s quickly earning its spot as a taproom favorite.

Come see what the talk is all about!

We’ve been really leaning into the orchard side of our orchard-based cider lately. 🍎🌳

With last year’s harvest kegged and waiting for you, our focus has shifted to the next generation of trees. It’s always surprising how many times we touch these trees before they ever bear fruit. These new Golden Russet trees have already been planted, supported with new infrastructure, topped off with soil, had their blooms removed (more than once!), and fertilized. And that’s only the start of their journey before they eventually find their way into a cider blend a few years down the road.

It’s a lot of work but good cider is worth the wait 🍻

Until then, you can taste what mature Golden Russet trees bring to the glass in our Putnam’s Gold dry cider🍺🍏
