Greenpoint Cidery Description

Inspired by farmhouse practices, natural wine, and the long history of apples in America, my ciders are made with traditional methods, local ingredients, and minimal intervention. Fermented from all New York apples, they are 100% dry, aged on the lees, unfiltered, and unfined. Each cider is hand made in small batches, and any added ingredients are foraged from the surrounding land. Because it’s made by hand, each batch, and each bottle, is unique.

Greenpoint Cidery is owned and run by Nika Carlson. Carlson fell in love with cider as a Brooklyn bar owner, and inspired by the Spanish, French, and traditional American cider she adored, transitioned to orchardist and cider maker (and designer (and distributor (and keg cleaner))). She is based in Brooklyn, and grows apples and makes cider in Hudson, NY.

Cider Notes: Mugwort is a wild growing herb that was used in years past to bitter beer, before the common use of hops. It's also said to prompt strong dreams.

It grows in the fields just outside the cider,where I foraged it in the fall and infuse it into a dry, aged cider for approximatelytwo months. The end result is a kind of magical, creamy still cider with even elevated herbaceous, sage-like notes on the nose and palate. Think of a blend between a sauv blanc and a gruit.

Screen printed bottles with hand waxed tops.
