CIDER MENU

Our ciders are made exclusively from the apples we grow at Storum Ranch. We have 2500 trees in 60 different varieties, and we hand-pick the fruit only when it is ripe. Our ciders are all traditional style ciders, fermented to dry and never any sugar added.

BOTTLED CIDERS

HEWE’S CRAB
2023 harvest | 9.8% ABV
Our 2023 harvest was exceptionally bountiful, and this cider is made entirely from the crop our 140 Hewe’s Crabapple trees produced. This cider has a beautiful, clear golden color with medium body and very soft acid. It has mild tannins and is nicely refreshing with a light fruity citrus finish. We recommend serving lightly chilled.

BITTER WICKSON BLEND
2023 harvest | 9.5% ABV
We used 55% Wickson along with a blend of several bittersharp and bittersweet apples varieties, including Dabinett, to produce this gorgeous, pale gold cider. Allow this cider to come to room temperature for its flavors and aromas to fully open. It has light acid and a delicate body that is round and soft on the palate with a note of butterscotch and cinnamon and a mellow, melon finish. Try pairing with seared scallops. We recommend serving near room temperature.

REDFIELD-DABINETT
2023 harvest | 8.2% ABV
We blended 70% Redfield and 30% Dabinett to create this clean, easy drinking cider. The Dabinett is renowned for high quality bittersweet juice, and the beautiful red flesh of the Redfield imparts a rosy hue. The result is a clean, easy drinking still cider. Pleasantly tart up front, but finishes with a light, creamy body that hints at cherry and vanilla. We recommend serving lightly chilled.

ON TAP

HARRISON CIDERKIN
2023 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 6% ABV
Ciderkin is a lighter cider made from the second pressing of the apples. This makes it delightful for easy summer sipping. It is bright with good apple flavor and a touch of cinnamon on the nose.

VOLCAN MOUNTAIN BLEND
2021 harvest | tank fermented with wild yeast | 7% ABV
A blend of 50% Newtown Pippin, 30% Fuji and 20% Granny Smith apples.  It has a delightful light taste with a nose of fully ripe cantaloupe up front and a smooth, slightly tart finish.

ARKANSAS BLACK
2023 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 9 % ABV | on tap
The Arkansas Black is thought to be a seedling of Winesap and is notable for its thick, dark colored skin. This apple makes a superbly balanced cider because of its higher tannin content. It is dry and mild - a single varietal widely sought after by cider enthusiasts.

WINESAP
2023 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 9% ABV | on tap
A well-known American heirloom apple, the Winesap can be eaten fresh but  is more valued for cider production. This is a clean, light, well-balanced cider with a bright apple nose and just a hint of baking spices, and a pleasant, smooth finish.

NEWTOWN PIPPIN
2018 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 9.5% ABV | on tap
Newtown Pippin apples were one of the first apples widely grown in colonial America. This cider has a delightful golden color, medium tannins and  complexity. Lightly fruity with a long, tart apple finish.

GOLDRUSH
2020 harvest | tank fermented with wild yeast | 9.5% ABV
The GoldRush is a modern dual-purpose apple developed at Purdue University in the 1970s with flavor reminiscent of a ripe Golden Delicious but with more acidity. This cider has a beautiful golden color and is tannic yet fruity with notes of apple peel.

NORTHERN SPY BLEND
2020 harvest | wild yeast fermentation | 10% ABV | on tap
A well-balanced blend of 60% Northern Spy, 30% Liberty and 10% Medaille d’Or apple varieties. It is bright and rich up front with a delicate finish. Stylistically similar to a traditional Spanish cider.

FOUR GOLDEN BLEND
2020 harvest | tank fermented with wild yeast | 11% ABV
An earthy blend of four gold apple varieties: 35% Golden Delicious, 30% Golden Russet, 25% GoldRush and 10% Hudson Golden Gem. This is a hearty, low acid cider with a good tannic base and a lovely floral overtone.

SOUTHERN APPLE BLEND
2024 harvest | tank fermented with wild yeast | 8.5% ABV
A blend of apples that were traditionally grown for cider production in the American South, including Black Twig, Arkansas Black, King David and Newtown Pippin apples. This dry, slightly tart cider has exceptional balance and and good body making for a delicious pour.  

HARRISON
2023 harvest | 10.8% ABV
The Harrison apple was one of the most famous 18th-century American cider apples and extensively grown throughout the Eastern United States, most particularly in New Jersey. This cider has an almost smoky nose that adds pleasant complexity. It is dry with moderate tannins up front, followed by the slightest tease of effervescence that leaves a perceived sweetness. It tastes of clean earthy, stewed apple with a chamomile finish. We recommend serving lightly chilled.

GOLDEN RUSSET
2023 harvest | 11.5% ABV
Golden Russets are a classic traditional apple known for their golden-brown russeted skin and sweet, slightly nutty flavor. This delightful cider has a sweet apple nose with a hint of jasmine. It is light, crisp and smooth, and drinks like a white wine. Enjoy light tannins up front with a lingering baked apple flavor. We recommend serving lightly chilled.
