We had our annual cider pressing on Nov 7. This is the event where we gather to buy fresh-pressed juice from heirloom cider apples, hand selected by Dan Beardsley at Beardsley Cider Mill in Shelton to make the best hard cider. As usual with homebrewer events, we tend to bring samples from last year’s pressing and have a bit of a party.
Like the last few years, this event was co-hosted with our sister club, Brew Haven. Combining the clubs makes the event much more fun.
Enormous thanks to Dan and the Beardsley crew for allowing us into their pressing room, and also to the organizers who did all the logistical heavy lifting. I know that Eric Sforza handled that for our club. Thanks, Eric!
