Farnum Hill Semi-Dry
Farnum Hill's almost fanatical interest in different varieties of cider apples lends their ciders depth of aroma and flavor. They constantly blend unique cider apple varieties and are testing new ones all the time. The English and European varieties that flourish there attain highly concentrated flavors in the extreme New Hampshire climate. Produced at Poverty Lane Orchards. 7.4% ABV.

Farnum Hill Dooryard Still Cider “Dooryard 1131”
Farnum Hill grows all their own cider apples and occasionally they have leftover fermented juice. They use these leftovers to experiment with blending combinations and will sometimes release a bit to the public under the Dooryard label. With a blend selected by three NJ beer geeks (including John Hoyos), Batch #1131NJ shows ripe, sweet fruits on the nose with a full acidic mouth feel and a mild, broad bitterness on the base behind a puckering finish. It is only available to buy in the Garden State.

Etienne Dupont-Cidre Bouche Brut
Etienne’s orchards are comprised of old-growth, low yield, Pays d’Auge varietals. Typical varieties include Saint-Martin, Binet, Noel de champs, Mettais, Frequin and Rouge Duret.
