Applefest is back… bigger and better!
It's Apple Season, our favorite time of the year! And you better believe we’re bringing the orchard to the city again with the return of our Applefest Fall Festival. And since there's never too many apples, we are making it a two weekend celebration (Nov 15-16 and 22-23)! Both weekends will be filled with yummy eats, treats, live music, cozy new merch, autumnal activities, hot mulled cider, the release of our Pippin Pommeau Batch 3, and our annual Community Crush — when you can roll up your sleeves, and help us press apples on our old-fashioned rack-and-cloth press that Benny made himself! SEE FULL EVENT SCHEDULE BELOW.Applefest Community Crush
Sign up here for a 30 min time slot to help sort, wash, crush and press apples on our old fashioned rack-and-cloth press that Benny made himself! This public Community Crush apple pressing will be from 12-5pm each day, with 30 minute time slots for volunteers. Once the cider is ready after a few months, we'll invite you back to get a pint on the house of the cider YOU helped make!

PRE- ORDER OUR ANNUAL HOLIDAY RELEASE
PIPPIN POMMEAU BATCH 3 FOR PICK UP AT APPLEFEST!Pippin Pommeau is a 1-year-old apple brandy blended with apple juice, then barrel-aged for another 1-2 years. The result is a glorious, boozy apple elixir at 17% ABV. Inspired by the traditional French style hailing from Normandy, France, our California take is made with 100% California Newtown Pippin apples and distilled locally at craft distillery Loft & Bear. Batch 3 is as Golden State as it gets. Serve slightly chilled in a cute glass for sipping before or after dinner…or really whenever you desire.
