Apple Cider

September is here which means home-delivered cider will again be coming to your doorstep!

  
South Mountain Creamery partners with Distillery Lane Ciderworks to offer you fresh apple cider!

Distillery Lane Ciderworks, located in Frederick County just outside of the town limits of historic Burkittsville, supplies all of the apples and cider sold by SMC.  Their family-owned and operated farm specializes in growing unique apples that are perfect for cider, baking, and eating.

The 3500+ trees at the DLC orchard were custom-crafted and planted in 2002.  These trees were selected because of their extremely high consumer ratings in three important categories: fresh eating, baking, and cider making.  You'll find that eating a variety such as Liberty, a semi-tart, crisp variety, or baking with Bramley's Seedling, an American classic, really does make all the difference.

Distillery Lane Ciderworks produces the cider and South Mountain Creamery pasteurizes and bottles it There are no additives in the cider, it is 100% apple juice.  The cider is blended to balance sweetness, tartness, and acidity, and is fresh-pressed every week. 

Each batch is unique because of the just-picked apples that go into the mix.  Once you’ve tasted an ice-cold glass, we are sure you’ll agree that our cider is some of the area’s best cider.  Our first batch of cider this season – available at SMC starting September 5th -- will be a tart blend of “Red Gravenstein” and “Summer Rambo” apples.
