Last year, we debuted our Cider Garden at World Beer Festival Durham. It was a hit there as well as at our festivals in Raleigh and Columbia, so we’re bringing it back to Durham again in 2016!
Like their brewing brothers, today’s cider makers are experimenting with a broad array of ingredients and techniques. You’ll be able to sample a wide variety in our Cider Garden, with examples ranging from the traditional to the experimental.
