CIDERFEAST™ NYC RETURNS HOME TO NEW YORK TO CELEBRATE NEW YORK CIDER WEEK

by | Aug 23, 2024

CiderFeast™ NYC Brings the Best Ciders in the Region and Beyond to New York for an All-Inclusive Festival Celebrating the Art of Hard Cider

NEW YORK CITY, NY – August 16, 2024 – Food Karma Projects, producer of Brisket King® NYC and Rib King NYC™, is thrilled to present CiderFeast™ NYC at Industry City on Saturday, October 5, 2024, in Brooklyn, NY.

CiderFeast™ NYC’s Brooklyn homecoming marks its tenth year celebrating the art of hard cider and arrives just in time to kick off Cider Week New York. The beloved CiderFeast™ NYC is the brainchild of Jimmy Carbone, a hospitality pioneer who hosted some of the earliest Cider Week New York gatherings at his East Village pub, Jimmy’s No. 7, back in 2011. Jimmy’s event is now one of the most noteworthy cider celebrations in the country, with stops in cider-centered cities like Boston, MA, Haverhill, MA, and Portland, ME.

“I was very active at Cider Week in 2014 and organized the first CiderFeast at the Seaport, then loved it so much I kept hosting each year,” says Carbone. “It’s easy to be converted to fine, dry cider when you’re drinking and eating with industry pioneers like Steve Wood of Farnum Hill Cider, Eleanor Leger of Eden Ciders, and Andy Brennan of Aaron Burr Cider. I can’t wait to share these ciders for the tenth year in a row!”

The all-inclusive CiderFeast™ NYC spotlights more than twenty hand-picked ciders from New York State and the surrounding region, plus outstanding international selections and a food menu that includes paella, aged country ham, fresh kimchi, a Heritage Farm vegetable grill, and sausages by Ends Meat, for a true, one-of-a-kind, walk-around tasting event. 

Sample pours from:

  • Angry Orchard Cider House, NY
  • Aval Cider, France
  • Barrika Basque Cider, Spain
  • Brooklyn Cider House, NY
  • Bucktail Cider Co., PA
  • Eden Ciders, VT
  • Graft Cider, NY
  • Hudson North Cider, NY

No cider event would be complete without a menu of exceptional food by artisan producers and regional favorites. At this year’s event, expect cider donuts from Stone Ridge Orchard, Dakota Hams’ 24-month-aged Kentucky ham, selections from whole-animal butcher and salumeria Ends Meat, paella and Parés Baltà wine tasting by Chef Rafa de la Rosa, Cabot Creamery Grilled Cheese hot off the griddles, and hot sauces from BamuBamu Fire Club, Rocket Fuel Foods, and Coney Island Saucery.

Tickets and packages, on sale now at ciderfeasthq.com, start at $45 (plus fee) per ticket, with VIP and Group options available. Media are invited to attend the event, which will include opportunities for interviews with hard cider producers and CiderFeast™ NYC organizers.

BIG NEWS from @finnriver today! 

Finnriver Unveils Canned Craft Cider Made with 100% Organic Fruit.

The Pacific Northwest's first B Corp certified cidery, announces the launch of two premium craft ciders in convenient can format. The new offerings, debuting in April 2025, extend Finnriver's commitment to making craft cider from 100% organic fruit as accessible as possible.

The initial release features two of Finnriver's most popular varieties: 

Bloom (6.5% ABV) - Semi-dry, fruity and bright. Crisp, organic Washington apples meet sweet, organic blueberries, which give this sparkling cider a lovely purple hue. 

Blush (6.5% ABV), Dry, crisp and light. Tart, organic Washington apples meet organic black currants in this beautiful, pink sparkling cider.

“Washington State grows more than 85% of organic apples in the U.S., yet that’s rarely reflected in canned ciders. We saw a lack of premium craft ciders in cans in the market, and knew we could fill that niche,” says Amanda Oborne, Finnriver’s CEO. “With an organic orchard and a cidermaking team that sources all organic, local and wildcrafted ingredients, sustainability is paramount to us,” continues Oborne. “By putting our values-driven products in cans, we make them accessible to a much broader community of responsible, discerning drinkers.” Finnriver is a certified B Corp cidery known for innovating farmcrafted blends using all organic juice, berries and wild foraged botanicals. 

Both varieties will debut in late March with full market rollout beginning April 2025.

🌴🍍 Introducing Island Daiquiri from @portlandcider! 🍊🥥 

Close your eyes, take a sip, and you might just hear the waves crashing. This tropical escape starts with the unmistakable juiciness of pineapple, smoothly blended with velvety coconut. A bright twist of citrus from orange gives it that refreshing zing, and just when you think it’s over, a gentle touch of nutmeg leaves you with a warm, spiced finish. 

What pairs best with this tropical delight?
Spicy tacos 🌮, grilled seafood 🐟, Caribbean flavors, and BBQ straight off the grill. Honestly, though, it pairs perfectly with sunshine and good vibes.

Available now in 12oz 6-packs, 19.2oz single cans, and on draft.

👉 Check out @portlandcider for more details.
