As of today, 5/4/13, our Tasting Room is resuming regular weekend hours.
Saturdays 11-4
Sundays 12-4
We are often there earlier, but if you need us to before 11 or after 4, it’s best to call ahead.
The orchard is running behind this year. The current guestimate is 2 week to Bloom.
Welcome back to Spring and AeppelTreow Cidery and Distillery!
We will be open from 10am-2pm while we bottle up some draft cider.
Barn Swallow has returned to the Tasting Room! Hurray! 750mL bottles are back on sale.
And if you are interested in sixth barrels for your home bar/kegerators, this is the time to pre-order.
Milissa and I had a great trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan last weekend. Setting up for the Cider Sensory Seminar that I teach, along with Gary Awdey and Dick Dunn, was intense, but I think it was worry well spent. The seminar just keeps getting better.
Oh, and the competition results? ÆppelTreow took three medals for three entries. 100% medal rate!!
(Okay, they were all bronzes – but no traditional perry, like Orchard Oriole, got better than a bronze this year. And no brandies took a gold. Tough judges this year. We must have taught them too well 🙂
Charles and Milissa will be in Michigan this weekend to train cider judges, and steward and judge one of the worlds biggest cider-exclusive competitions.
Which means there will not be any appointments available this weekend.
But we’ll be back next week.
Heard this story this morning. Our Brown Dog Whiskey is distilled from WI grown Sweet Sorghum, and aged with oak, apple, cherry and chestnut wood. Lots of plants.
We obviously need to get Amy some.

We’ll open today from about 10-4. It’s Muduary on the farm, so be forewarned – the driveways are a bit sloppy.
