Alewife Beer School: Beyond Beer - Cider Basics

You know we love our craft beer here at Alewife, but we are also huge fans of cider. Too often cider gets mischaracterized by the back-sweetened commercial examples that exist on grocery store shelves. In the eight plus years we’ve been open, we’ve enjoyed expanding our cider selection and see more and more folks experience what cider can be.

This class will explore all the cider basics: apple families and their classification, how apples are grown/propagated, the basics of cider making, cider styles, regional influences in cider making, and basic flavor and evaluation for cider.

The class will be led by Alewife co-owner and Certified Cicerone®, Kelly Pickard. Cost to attend is $30 and includes educational presentation, handouts, and a guided tasting. All class attendees must present ID showing they are 21+ years old.
