Alpenfire Cider - Bear in Mind (750 mL)
Alpenfire Cider's Bear In Mind is a limited release, small batch cider from the cidery's Burnt Branch Reserve Series. Alpenfire's Burnt Branch Series is mostly reserved for their own Cider Club members and for pouring at their orchard based tasting room in Port Townsend on the Olympic Penninsula.
The Bishop family (Nancy, Bear, and their son Philippe) has been producing some of the best American cider for nearly a quarter century. This special blend was made as a surprise to celebrate Bear Bishop's 69th Birthday.
Made from a blend of 2/3 Corts & Kings (another limited release from Alpenfire made from 50% Cortland Apples and 50% Kings apples) barrel aged in Wilder Bee Farm mead barrels, and 1/3 Pirate's Plake (an English style cider made from a blend of Bittersharp cider apple varieties).
This is a dry cider, unfiltered and unpasteurized - much like Alpenfire's founder that this cider was made for. This cider is barrel forward with a modest and light bourbon touch, and notes of vanilla - all intermingled with flavors of green apple, pineapple, and cleansing minerality.
