Marionberry

Oregon marionberries co-fermented with Shenandoah apples. Dark and smooth with a lovely berry finish.

Marionberries are Oregon's own blackberry: deeper, juicier and a little wilder than anything you'll find at the grocery store. We co-ferment them with Shenandoah Valley apples and let the cider finish completely dry, so you get the dark fruit and the jammy nose without any of the sugar.

Chai-der is what happens when your favorite chai latte gets made out of apples. We take Shenandoah Valley apples, ferment them completely dry, then layer in the warm spices that make chai chai: cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. You get the whole spice shop on the nose and a crisp, clean apple finish, with none of the sugar.

Thunderbolt

with Swing's Coffee Roasters

Our coffee cider with Swing's, right here in Alexandria. Floral and lightly aromatic, with a subtle coffee finish.

Thunderbolt is our collaboration with Swing's Coffee Roasters, Alexandria's own. Jay steeps Swing's G Street coffee on fresh Shenandoah apples in the cellar, then lets the cider finish bone dry. The result is floral and lightly aromatic, with the coffee showing up as a gentle finish rather than a jolt.

About that "sugar-free"

Dry cider means the yeast has eaten all of the apple's natural sugar during fermentation, turning it into alcohol and CO₂. Our flagships finish with zero measurable sugar: roughly 140 calories and 5 carbs per 12oz. Where a cider does carry some residual sugar, we say so with the "RS" number. More in the FAQ.
