With little ado, we sold out of the 2011 Perry this weekend and switched over to the 2012 expression. The 2012 was only finished last week – which seems like really good timing to me.

Low Case Alert: Oriole Perry
Status
We’ve hit the 5 case remaining level with the Orchard Oriole Perry. We told you it would go fast, since it was such a small batch. Email, message or phone us if you want some reserved for you.
Summer Hours Starting This Week
Status
We will be starting our Summer Hours this Friday. Adding Fridays and extending to 5 PM.
Officially:
Friday 12-5
Saturday 10-5
Sunday 12-5.
Midweek by appointment.
Pear Wine ’12 Release
Status
We are thrilled to have our Pear Wine back in the Tasting Room. Thanks to Bill, Marianne, Ralph, Kyle, Cassie, Conner, Kitty, Rose, Terry, Beth and George, (and Milissa and Charles) we bottled 240 cases today – our biggest single bottling to date.
So come on out and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Kinglet Bitter ’12 Release
Status
Two releases in one weekend!
Thanks to Kitty and Milissa, this year’s ‘pomage’ of our traditional English-ish draft cider is available. It’s the partner to our English-ish dry, tannic Orchard Oriole Perry, which is also ready for sale now.
The Kinglet is not as short supply as the Oriole – but I don’t expect it to last the Summer. So stop in to the ÆppelTreow Tasting Room some weekend soon.
Orchard Oriole Perry ’12 Release
Status
This year’s draft perry, from estate-grown traditional English perry cultivars, is bottled, and will be released this weekend, May 25-26th.
Due to the poor crop following the Horrid Torrid March of Twenty Twelve, this batch of Orchard Oriole Perry is very limited – just 17 cases. You’ll have to come to the Tasting Room to get some – but we will reserve some for you by phone or email.
I will admit that I had some during bottling last night – and it’s pretty tasty.
Wassail!
Charles
Perrymaker.
