Cider Salon: A Sneak Peak of What’s to Come
1 comment | September 17, 2012 | By The Editors
Before Prohibition, hard cider–that musty, tangy fermented stuff of apples–maintained a place in homes all across the nation. Now regional cider makers in the US are staging a comeback of the orchard-based libation. Cider Week–a mid-October celebration of hard cider now in its second year–aims to find new audiences who’ll love the drink and raise awareness about cider’s potential to enhance orchard viability.
Join us on Tuesday, September 18th from 6 to 8 pm as we kick off the festivities a bit early at Cider Salon, a public tasting event previewing the hard ciders that will also be featured during Cider Week, October 12-21. In addition to hard cider, the Cider Salon will feature local cheeses from Murray’s Cheese and Cabot Cheese, and breads from Orwashers.

Although I think its a nice respite from so many beers, I don’t feel that hsntiog wine or cider is sending the right message, given that this is an event to benefit the Commission.Although I know there is a myth that beer drinkers only drink beer and only wine drinkers drink wine, to me this event should still be all about the beer. Chalk my opinion to not having organized and promoted an event. I am open to suggestions from others on this one why wine or cider should be promoted, especially when wine already has a strong backing by the people (sales, shipping, tax-breaks, etc.).A little grouchy since I am missing out on Donut Day.
