Description
Stowe Cider was founded in 2013 with a vision of bringing something different to the cider scene- a version that boasted less than half the sweetness of most commercial cider. Once this niche was created to “keep cider dry", demand was high and the location was quickly outgrown. Stowe Cider became a favorite stop among visitors and locals alike. With a move up Mountain Rd. Stowe Cider transitioned into the West Branch Building and combined taproom with an updated production facility. Whether sipping a cider aprés ski, taking a break from a leaf peeping hike, or looking to enjoy some live music, guests are greeted with a consistently rotating tap selection, and more than 10 varieties available to go, no two visits are the same. Head Cider Maker and co-owner Mark Ray is constantly developing unique recipes that you will not find anywhere else. Ciders range from dry and preservative-free to others containing local fruits, hops, and unique barrel-aged offerings.

5 oz draft. Flavor has a decent amount of apple with a strong ginger presence. I guess maybe I can find some lemon here. Crisp texture. Overall, about normal for a cider.

Sample at the NH Brewfest in Portsmouth 10/14/23. Mostly clear gold with a smattering of white bubble apple. A little dryer than I like but clean and tasty

Tap at Schilling. Pours clear gold. Sweet and a little musty, some dried apples, mild bitter peel, a little bruised apple. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly funky finish, more bruised and almost rotten apples. Not bad.

16oz can from Stowe Public House & Bottle Shop, shared with Soph at our cabin in the woods. Pours a misty purple, pinkish head that diminishes completely. Hazed mouthfeel.. has a natural blueberry presence, light maple.. nicely smooth on the palate with good body. Decent overall.

Tap @ Stowe Cider. Clear pale gold appearance. Gentle sweet apple fruit aroma. Crisp palate, medium sweet, clean and filtered.. strangely not hazy as the name would suggest. Straightforward simplistic medium sweet cider.

Tap @ Stowe Cider. Pours a clear pale yellow. Prominent pine needle aroma. Very sprucey character to taste with additional pine needles and lime, fairly sweet. Ok.
