Learn to make cider at Hale & True! Join us for our spring cider making workshop with Hale & True owner and cider maker, Kerry McKenzie. 

This one-night, three-hour workshop is perfect for cider fans who want to learn more about the drink they love and those who want to get started cider making at home. The class is focused on learning how to make consistent, delicious cider and creating a solid foundation of cider making knowledge. We will also be tasting a variety of ciders!

In this workshop you will:

• Learn about the history of cider, cider styles, and apple varieties

• Learn step-by-step how to make high-quality cider at home

• Start your own batch of cider with fresh-pressed, local PA apple juice

• Enjoy a guided tasting of different cider styles with time for Q&A with the owners of Hale & True

We'll be picking up juice from our favorite local orchard for everyone to use as the base of your cider. We'll talk about the different varieties of local apples available, their characteristics, and history of cider making apples. Together, we will measure the sugar density of the fresh juice, then everyone will rehydrate and add yeast to their own gallon of fresh juice to begin the fermentation process. 

Your ticket includes:

• A glass of any Hale & True cider

• A guided tasting of two additional cider styles from different regions

• A one gallon carboy with airlock and stopper, with fresh juice and yeast, ready to ferment

• A comprehensive cider making manual written by Hale & True

• A shopping list with everything you need for a full at-home cider making setup

This course is scheduled for Tuesday, 4/23 at 6:00-9:00 pm. This is a small group course with a limited number of spots available. The cost is $175 for a single ticket, or $275 for a double ticket. With a double ticket, two people will make one batch of cider.

Her latest paintings chronicle rarely-seen details of the SS United States, America's Flagship, which is at risk of being evicted from its berth in South Philadelphia. She also has new paintings of the rudder of the Tallship Gazela, as well as other scenes.
