Local cidermakers utilize fresh fruit to craft a wide range of ciders, from honey-sweet to bone-dry, at scenic destinations along the Hudson River.
The philosophy at Twin Star Orchards emphasizes the importance of high-quality apples. Distinctly Hudson Valley drinks are elevated by wild yeast (and sometimes white wine yeast). They craft the resulting ciders with minimal intervention and tons of regional terroir. There is no better setting for these ciders than the site in which they are pressed. Gorgeous farmland sets the scene for funky, semi-sour pours. A few of the more experimental creations from Brooklyn Cider House include the Three of Life, naturally sparkling and bottle-conditioned; Wild Rosé, colored by sour cherry, wild raspberry, rose petals, and a touch of red wine; and Raw, the unfiltered option.
