How-To Connect With Influencers Q&A
I’m back in New York! CiderCon 2020 was an exciting time and like past CiderCons, it did not disappoint. At CiderCon, I presented a meet-up: “Connecting with Influencers” on Thursday, January 30. I met with the media and cideries to discuss how we can build a partnership to move the cider industry forward. I thought I’d put together some information here for you to share for those of you who weren’t able...
Pour the Core, and a Little Bit of Autumn
The sixth annual Pour the Core will take place on Saturday, September 30 at a new location, Heckscher State Park.

So this year I teamed up with Billy Burke, also a homebrewer, and remade a fun recipe that I created once before. We decided...
Sex and the Cider: Carrie’s Cosmo
Finally, my Cosmo-inspired cider completed fermentation and officially kegged last night! I have always been a fan of Carrie from “Sex and the City” and her fancy pink drinks.

Busy Brewing
I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. I haven’t been outside the beer culture, in fact, I’ve been super busy at events and brewing this summer! I just finished “11:11,” a dry-hopped cider that I brewed with citra hop leaves. I’ve brewed this type of cider before for the Great Beer Expo (Belmont) last November, but I made a no-no and didn’t write down the recipe. Although...
