We love a good, sour cider. Come join us for an evening with Graft Cider (Newburgh, NY). The Graft crew will be on hand to answer your cider-related questions.
Draft:
Graft Farm Flor
Graft Shared Universe Hill Country (collab with Big Hill Ciderworks from Gardners, PA)
Cans:
Fields & Flowers
Lost Tropic
Book of Nomad: Face Cards
Founded by brother and sister Kyle and Sara Sherrer, formerly of Millstone Cellars, along with Sae Kenney and David Hall, they set out to change consumer’s perceptions of what cider could be. Graft Cider realized that goses and farmhouse ales share a flavor also found in traditional ciders. Graft was inspired by these European ciders, but instead of using a cleaner champagne yeast, they opted to use a funkier strain called Brettanomyces (or Brett). The majority of Graft’s ingredients are sourced locally from the Hudson Valley; even their house strain of yeast was found on apple trees in the New Paltz area. What you’ll discover is an incomparable blend of tart, traditional cider inspired by everything from a glass of rosé to your first bite of mochi on a hot summer day. Always defying the odds, and never looking back, Graft is the vehicle to bring forward-thinking ciders to the masses.
Acknowledging the relationship between craft beverages and art, part of Graft’s mission is to highlight the talents of local artists and weave them into their unique style of tart cider. Partnering with local Baltimore artist Caleb Lin, this exciting new cidery is able to tell stories through each and every can. These colorful, storybook-inspired images pull the viewer in, and allow them to expand upon the scenes in their head. Follow heroes Nomad and Dog in the trenches of galactic battles, neon casinos and mystic jungles throughout the imaginative, fruited series Book of Nomad. Wander through cryptic Cloud City where the spirit of each unique flavor is melded into the theme of its specific district. Let’s raise our glass and celebrate craft in its many forms!
