From stowecider.com:
”Every silver lining’s got a touch of…grape?” Well, those might not be the exact Grateful Dead lyrics, but they will give you a hint as to what our newest ciders are all about! When our friends over at Zenbarn were looking for a speciality keg to feature at their Wednesday night music series with Zach Nugent’s Acoustic Dead Duo an idea was sparked and our newest ciders, A Touch of Grape, (inspired by the song Touch of Grey) were born.
Touch of Grape is a two-part, limited release cider made in collaboration with Lincoln Peak Vineyard in Middlebury, Vt. They provided the grape pomace- what is left after pressing the fruit for wine- and we co-fermented and aged the grapes with our locally sourced cider. Not only do we love partnering with great, local growers but at Stowe Cider we love being able to utilize ingredients that add a ton of flavor and complexity and would otherwise go to waste (see The Gin Project). The red version features Marquette grapes and the white contains La Crescent. Using the residual sugars from the grapes during co-fermentation gives the cider a nice boost to 7.5% abv and adds unique wine characteristics.

Companion
Apple trees and tart cherry trees make good companions in the orchard. They bloom and harvest at different times throughout the growing season, which is good for the land and good for the farmer. We figured they might make nice companions in a fermented cider as well. It turned out to be true, which is good for us, and good for you. Be a Good Companion and enjoy this very limited sour cherry cider.
- Availability: Limited
- No added sugar, never from concentrate.
- Apples pressed at Happy Valley Orchard in Middlebury, VT.
- Finished with fresh sour cherry juice from Monmorency and Balaton sour cherries.
- Manufactured in Burlington and Middlebury, VT.
Stan Up
We gave Stan the task of making us the finest blend of cider possible from the fruit at his orchard. Made with heirloom blends, this year we did something a little different with Stan Up and used only 2015 apples giving this year’s cider a vintage. We aged the cider in our steel tanks for 10 months starting last November, bottled it in late August and then let it bottle condition for another 2 months. And Voila! A year later we present Stan Up – 2015 Crop.
- Availability: Limited
- No added sugar, never from concentrate.
- Apples picked from and pressed at Happy Valley Orchard in Middlebury, VT.
- Manufactured in Burlington and Middlebury, VT.
- Pairings: Braised herbed chicken, hard cheese, prosciutto, hummus.
- ABV: 8.0
Northern Spy
Made with Northern Spy apples alone, this single varietal cider is indubitably a showcase of one proud apple. Bright and acidic with a touch of sweetness and loads of character, the Northern Spy is an exceptional addition to your personal reserve.

Blueberry and apple, summer and fall, farmers and cider makers. Here’s to getting along.

Introducing Elsewhere
Citizen Cider meets Shelburne Museum:
A collaboration of history and apples.
That’s right, we collab. The good folks at Shelburne Museum contacted us with an idea. “We have feral apple trees on the museum grounds, you guys make cider with apples, let’s join forces.” So, that’s what we did.
Turns out these apple trees are much more special than we even anticipated. Electra Havemeyer Webb, the founder of Shelburne Museum and also an ambitious and well-known collector of Americana, was responsible for the collection of heritage apple trees that reside on the museum grounds.
