Foggy Ridge Cider

Cider fans, rejoice! Tomorrow, we’ll be sampling Foggy Ridge Cider from Virginia. About Foggy Ridge: “At Foggy Ridge Cider in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Cidermaker Diane Flynt grows heirloom apples and makes award winning hard cider. Located near the Blue Ridge Parkway, Foggy Ridge Cider hosts events spring through early winter celebrating apples, local food and music, growing trees and, of course, cider.” Join us Thursday, May 16, between 5:00-7:00 p.m. Let’s sip some fermented apples!

Foggy Ridge First Fruit Cider: “Foggy Ridge’s First Fruit cider blends early season American heirloom apples to create a rich fruity cider with lively acidity to drink, like Thomas Jefferson, on its own or with a meal.”

Foggy Ridge Serious Cider: “Serious Cider mixes traditional English cider apples like Tremlett’s Bitter and Dabinett with tart American favorites like Ashmead’s Kernel and Roxbury Russet. This crisp light food friendly cider is a refreshing aperitif paired with cheesy nibbles.”

Foggy Ridge Sweet Stayman Cider: “The famous Virgnia Stayman apples ripen late in mountain orchards but are worth the wait. Our Sweet Stayman Cider blends the original Stayman apple with heirloom varieties like Grimes Golden and Cox’s Orange Pippin to create a lightly sweet cider to sip on its own or with spicy food.”

Foggy Ridge Handmade Cider: “Our latest hard cider is Foggy Ridge Handmade, bottled in baby champagne bottles and for sale only at restaurants and retailers. This crisp cider made from Newtown Pippin apples has beautiful soft tannins and a delicate apple flavor with light pear notes.”

Tomorrow! Natty Greene’s in the Tasting Room. We’ve got Taylor McDermott from the brewery on-hand to serve you a flight and answer any questions. Join us tomorrow from 5:00-7:00 p.m.

Southern Pale Ale: “A medium-bodied, deep golden ale with distinct, bitter character and a hoppy, piney, citrus finish.”

Buckshot Amber: “A full-bodied amber ale with rich, smooth flavor and notes of caramel and toffee.”

Elm Street IPA: “Smooth,easy-drinking English-style India Pale Ale, crisp on the palate with a subtle aroma of East Kent Golding hop flowers.”

Cannonball Double IPA: “Strong-style India Pale Ale, deep copper in color witha a big, malty, hoppy palate and dry hopped with Centennial & Antanum for a spicy, citrus aroma. What better name for a big, strong beer than one of the biggest, strongest weapons of the Revolutionary War—the cannonball.”


All that’s new & tasty!
