It was a blast to see you all at the New York Cider Pop-up during Cidercon! Held at the Metropolitan Tavern Ballroom just a walk away from the Oregon Convention Center, it was a cozy get-together for New York cidermakers to chill out, chat, and share cider after a busy day at this inter-state and international conference. New York cideries turned out in huge numbers for Portland this year—we salute your hard work getting there despite the snowstorms, cancellations, and the half-inch sheet of ice coating the sidewalks! We hope you all got to see old friends and make new ones—we sure did!

This year’s Cidercon hosted 1,100 attendees from 40 states and 14 different countries. Because of all your hard work, we got to show them all the top-notch quality and wide diversity of New York Cider, from the Niagara Frontier to the Finger Lakes to the Catskills to the Hudson Valley to Long Island and to New York City. The cideries represented included Angry Orchard, Blake's Hard Cider, Brooklyn Cider House, Clarksburg Cider, Graft Cider, Grisamore Cider, Hudson North Cider Co., Hudson Valley Farmhouse Cider, Indian Ladder Farms Cider, Little Apple Cidery, Merchants Daughter Cider, Nine Pin Cider, Original Sin Cider, Pennings Farm Cidery, Seminary Hill Cider, South Hill Cider, Steampunk Cider, and Treasury Cider. Together, we all showed Portland exactly why New York is called the Big Apple.
