Woodchuck Cider
A long time ago, way back in 1990, there was a little winery in the town of Proctorsville, Vermont. Back then, we made our living producing a variety of apple wines, something not many wineries do. We also made a little cider called “Vermont Old-Fashioned Hard Cider” – not the most catchy name, yet pretty darn appropriate.
The Vermontiest of Vermonters are sometimes called “woodchucks” and this seemed like a pretty good name for our newest small-batch, Vermont-based cider. As you may know, the new Woodchuck cider tasted pretty darn good, and it quickly found distribution. Soon, our winery-turn-cidery was struggling to meet the demand for the cider. The early bottling line didn’t help either.
Throughout all of Woodchuck’s years, a lot of things have changed. What’s even more surprising is the stuff that’s stayed the same. Like our cider recipes. We’ve figured out smarter ways to get them in bottles, but the ingredients and taste are exactly the same. More importantly, many of the same folks from the little Proctorsville Winery still make Woodchuck today.
For the rest of the story, come see us at Woodchuck Ciders.
Granny Smith
Made from Granny Smith apples, this one’s a lot more tart and quite a bit tangier than your average Woodchuck. If you’re a green apple sort of person, this could be your Woodchuck.
802 Dark & Dry
A drier Woodchuck. It’s made with caramelized sugar instead of white sugar to tone down the sweetness a bit and give it its bronze color. In case you’re wondering, 802 is our area code up here in Vermont. So, if you’re planning on calling us up to say , “Dude, that 802 stuff like rocks!” just add 388-0700 to the name of your cider.
Amber
The original Woodchuck. People liked it so much we made four more styles. The Amber is sweet (but not too sweet) with a nice golden color and crisp finish.CAUTION:
Dislike for Woodchuck Amber may be a sign of a seriously injured tongue. Consult your doctor immediately.
Pear
To understand what a Woodchuck Pear tastes like, take a deep breath, close your eyes and imagine yourself floating down a cool crisp mountain stream in the middle of July. OK, got it? Now, put an entire pear in your mouth.
