Fuggled Virginia Cider of the Year
Turning my attention away from beer for a moment to finish up my booze review of 2025, we come to cider. Specifically, Virginia cider since that is the mainstay of my cider drinking world, and it would be disingenuous of me to have categories for outside of the Commonwealth. Looking back over my notes for the year, I have also decided to cut back on the number of categories from last year. Out go "Flavoured" ciders and "Pommeau/Strong Cider", not because I haven't had any of those categories, but because I have really only had one of each. As nice as they were, and in the case of the Sage Bird Long Light superb, again it feels a little damning with faint praise to give them their own categories. So we have just the two: single varietal blended (including co-ferments) Let's dive in... Single Varietal Malus X Dolgo - Troddenvale, Warm Springs Virginia Hewes Crab - Big Fish Cider, Monterey GoldRush - Buskey Hard Cider, Richmond Honorable mentions: Hazy Lady (Winesap) - Ciders from Mars, S

10/27/25: Angry Orchard Cider Company's Blood Orange and Headless Pumpkin
Four days out from Halloween. Four days from wandering the streets at night with my kid, calling on strangers' doors for treats. This season is one of my favorites and it always goes by too quickly. I have three posts left (including today's) to see it off. I'll have my annual Vincent Price-esque post next time (no AI is used in its making!), followed by the Halloween post proper. But first, we have to get to the only ciders I'm doing up this month. Out of the four varieties in the Thriller Pack , these are the two I wanted to write about. Without further ado: Angry Orchard's Blood Orange and Headless Pumpkin. Angry Orchard doesn't have an "About" page, but they do have a spot on their FAQ page about their name. Their cider makers noticed that the best cider apples looks a little rough, a little angry, if you will. And there you have it. I'll also quickly point out that the cidery's based out of Walden, NY and they're owned by the Boston Beer Company (who owns Sam Adams and my once-bel

11/17/24: Shacksbury Cider's Sugar Shack
Surprise! It's another cider post! Seriously, I had such a rough time finding maple beers to get to this season. Luckily, the cider makers have come through for me. Maple syrup and hard cider has been one of my favorite flavor combinations since I first stumbled upon it. I'm excited to see how Shacksbury's Sugar Shack, today's cider, plays into the combo. Shacksbury 's based in the Champlain Valley (Addison County) of Vermont and is named after an old hamlet that was making cider in the area back in the 1840s. The cider they make is complex and organic. I couldn't find Sugar Shack on Shacksbury's website (although I did track down this Instagram post !), so we'll let Untappd tell us about today's cider. Unfortunately, there's not much here. This just states the 5.5% ABV cider has "...maple and vanilla." My can provides a bit more of a story while letting us know it's made with vanilla bean paste instead of extract or artificial vanilla flavor. The bouquet is a little drier, a lit
