One of our oldest and most cherished friends, Nika Carlson, is the Cider Queen of Greenpoint Cidery. Discovering her love for cider from her old bar, The Drink, Nika has been on the entrepreneurial path to bring natural cider to New York and the world. Inspired by farmhouse practices, natural wine, and the long history of apples in America, her ciders are made with traditional methods, local ingredients, and minimal intervention. Fermented from all New York apples, they are 100% dry, aged, unfiltered, and un-refined. Each cider is hand made in small batches, and  limited release experimental ciders are made with fruits, herbs, and flowers foraged from the surrounding land. Because it’s made by hand, each batch, and each bottle, is unique.  

We dip into our archives and go back to 2014 with a very special performance from Adrianne Lenker.
