The maple train keeps a-rolling this month. Today, we're looking at one of two maple ciders I have slated for Maple Month '24. I found this single can nestled in the shelves of a nearby bottleshop some few months back. Pleased to see it (I hadn't had much luck in finding maple beers or ciders for this year), I immediately grabbed it and headed to the checkout.
That cider is (as you probably deduced from the title of this post) 1911 Established's Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged Hard Cider. I'm going into my can with no prior experience regarding the cider itself or the cidery. Here's hoping its worth my initial excitement!

Happy November (I know this is the second post this month, but it's the first true post)! This is a big month for me. It sits right between my two favorite holidays. It's National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), a challenge where I (and many other similarly-inclined fools) attempt to write fifty-thousand words of a novel in just a short thirty days. But, most importantly for the blog, it's Maple Month, wherein I explore beers and ciders crafted with my favorite adjunct, maple syrup.
We're starting off strong this month with a barleywine from Jackie O's. Calling back to Southeast Ohio's history, Iron Furnace is an ode to the Hope Furnace, a spot near and dear to my heart. Let's see if I'll hold the resulting beer in equal esteem.
Before launching into Maple Month, I’m here with a special post. See, Michelle, her sister, and I just got back from Indy. We were there to catch the final US stop of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour while we could (damn, getting tickets to that is a chore).
Say what you will about her and her music, but that woman knows how to put on a show! Some months back I stumbled upon Streetside's Friendship Bracelet at a bottleshop. Knowing we had the concert coming up, I grabbed it and figured I'd write about it before I head back to work tomorrow. So, let's do just that.
