What a beautiful cidery they built at Virtue

There's a unique quality to cider makers that sets them apart from brewers, and you can see it in their eyes — it's the connection to the land. The many cider makers I've met over the years have a relationship with their ingredients akin to farmers and wine makers.

 "Cider, for us is about locality & terroir. Part of the fun, like with grapes or wild yeast, is exploring the regional component parts. Cider from MI made with MI apples is going to taste totally different that NY cider made from NY apples."
