Farnum Hill Cider

Tonight at Beer Club we went to Poverty Lane Orchards to have a private tour with the head cider maker from Farnum Hill Ciders. It was fascinating - I've been on so many beer tours that they really have become redundant, but this was a whole new ball game. They grow apples at this orchard that no one else in America grows, just for use in their hard cider. We got to taste unblended hard cider straight out of the barrel - so delicious. One of the most interesting tours I've been on - it isn't every day when the tour guide mouth-siphons product out of a fermenter and pours you a sample.
