Black Apple’s Five Days of Cider will celebrate our favorite holiday traditions – Christmas puzzles, movies, crafts, music and, of course, ciders in nostalgic flavors.

We’ll release a one-night only special release cider each day (Monday through Friday). Try them all and get a free taster glass at the end of the week. We’re putting out craft supplies on Monday, Dec. 17, to keep your hands busy when not occupied with a glass. Sew, color, cut, glue… get crafty and take projects home to your tree or add them to ours.

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

Thorin Oakenshield was so right. Take an unexpected journey with us as we value food, drink, cheer and good times with trivia from The Hobbit on Dec. 17 from 7-9 p.m. The questions will come from both the book and the movies, so brush up ahead of time.

We love cosplay, so you get an extra point if you come dressed as a character or as someone from The Hobbit universe.

The trivia is part of our Five Days of Cider, which features a special release cider each night. Monday’s cider is Proper Halfling, a dry hopped juniper cider. Come try each of the special release ciders Monday through Friday and get a free taster glass!
