Dry, wine-like ciders made with love in the heart of Chester County by Brian & Olga Dressler.
ERIS was inspired by the Greek goddess known for causing mayhem. As the story goes, Eris threw the golden apple of discord into a party that she wasn’t invited to, creating chaos. As women cider makers in a male-dominated industry, we know what it’s like not to be invited to the party. We started ERIS as our way of throwing a golden apple into the Chicago scene.
Excursion makes small batch, minimal intervention ciders from PA apples. We use only real, whole ingredients in our ciders, like fruits, herbs, and other goodies that we source and process ourselves.
We started with a grant to remove the apples from as many properties as we could. Many landowners enthusiastically gave their permission for us to harvest, and there was a reduction in bear/human conflicts in those areas. Then we discovered how wonderful many of these high-altitude crab apples are for making hard cider and Farmstead Cider was born. Tart, tannic, sugary, and delicious, these apples help our ciders stand out from the crowd. We have the bears to thank for their uniqueness. Now we harvest apples all around Jackson Hole, helping to protect our wildlife and our apple trees while making small-batch hard ciders that reflect our wild home!
