Description
Gregory Hall founded Virtue Cider in 2011. He is known for his 20-year tenure as brewmaster at the Goose Island Beer Company, having won 14 consecutive Great American Beer Festival medals and pioneered bourbon barrel-aged beer with Bourbon County Stout. In the spring of 2011, Hall left Goose Island and embarked on a two-month pilgrimage to study the craft of cider, touring and tasting at top cidermakers in England and France. He brought his extensive experience and innovative style to launch Virtue Cider. In 2013, Hall brought the cidermaking venture as close as possible to one of the United States' best apple-growing states of Michigan and launched Virtue Cider in Fennville, Michigan.
From 2015 to 2023 Virtue was owned by ABInBev. Greg Hall bought the Cidery back in 2023.

[2/21/15] Draught at Toronado in San Diego. Clear yellow-ish gold. Nice aroma full of juicy apples, a funky hint and a sulphury note. Sourish-bitterish flavor with a sweetish note, rather dry, with apples and an alcoholic hint. Nice.

Light straw color. Some yeast in the aroma and flavor. Dry, not a lot of apple flavor or sugar; lack of sugar is fine. Very light palate and not a lot of flavor or aroma.

On tap at Bailey's, pours a hazy pale yellow / clear. Nose brings out a great mix of brett and medium sweet apples. Flavour is really well-designed and lovely, with lots of brett and apples - about equal parts brett and apples. Very complex. Excellent.
