Hard Ciders Flavored by the Wisconsin Driftless Region
We believe that cider should be something beautiful. It should be simple. It should be about the land, the people who grow the apples, the people who drink the cider, and the connections between us all.
Our ciders are not just locally made; they are locally grown. We use 100% locally grown apples. We never add concentrate, water, or any artificial flavors. When we add other ingredients such as fruit, honey, or hops, we source them locally whenever possible. Most of our ciders are dry because that’s the way we like them, but we do offer some off-dry and semi-sweet options.
We always keep several ciders on tap at our restaurant and tasting room, and we try to have something for everyone. None of our ciders are super sweet, and they tend to range from bone dry to moderately sweet with a few in between.
ON TAP IN OUR TASTING ROOM
DRY CIDERS
Dry Hopped
We’ve hopped up our house cider with Mackinac and Cascade hops. It finishes with a light citrus hop character that compliments the organic apples from St. Francis Hermitage. 5.5% ABV
Sun Dog*
Our house cider is made from organic apples from St.Francis Hermitage. A classic dry cider, Sun Dog is crisp, light, and easy to drink. 5.5% ABV
Redfield Rosé
This single varietal cider is made from Heirloom Redfield Apples from Red Sky Orchard in Waupaca Wisconsin. Redfields are a unique red-fleshed apple that give this cider its Rosé look and taste. 6.5% ABV
SEMI-SWEET CIDERS
Apple Bubbly
Another single varietal cider, this effervescent cider is reminiscent of a semi-sweet champagne. Made with heirloom Krohnebusch apples from Red Sky Orchard, each glass is a celebration of flavor. 7.5% ABV
Watermelon Mojito
Our Friends at Squashington Farm grew phenomenal mint and watermelon that really make this lower alcohol cider taste great. We used organic apples from St. Francis Hermitage in Gays Mills and backsweetened it with a traditional simple syrup for a light and refreshing cider. 3% ABV
Epelgaarden
We blended apples from Epelgaarden with local strawberries and honey to make this crisp orchard series cider. 5.5% ABV

Unique Hard Cider
Showcasing the diverse personalities of Wisconsin’s orchards
To date we have sourced apples from 25 farms in Wisconsin, all within 60 miles of our production space and tasting room in Mount Horeb. We craft small batches with single orchard origins. Rather than striving for uniformity (which is boring) we allow each batch to develop a character of its own, with unique blends of apples that bring out the varietal characteristics and the personalities of each orchard.
Our Labels
The majority of our labels are designed in house by Beth Raboin, who happens to be the sister (and sister in-law) of owners, Matt and Marie Raboin.
Hard cider made in the Driftless Region
All our cider is crafted in our cidery located in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. With a focus on using fruit from ‘our backyard,’ we have the pleasure of being a part of the whole process. From pressing fruit to the bottled product we are part of it all.
