Happy Thursday, Friends! 🍎✨

We’re making a switch!

Our 19.2 oz cans are on their way out, and we’re moving to convenient 12 oz cans! We only have 14 of the 19.2 oz cans left, so if you’ve been meaning to grab one, now’s your chance. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

The best part? A smaller can means a smaller price!

🍺 Ciders that pour for $6.50 will be $7 per can
🍺 Ciders that pour for $7.50 will be $8 per can
🥤 Soda cans will be $3.75

Perfect for taking home, sharing with friends, or stocking the fridge for the weekend.

Happy Sunday, Friends! 🎨🍎

It’s the first Sunday of the month, which means it’s time for a new artist spotlight!

This month we’re featuring Kristin Cleveland. Kristin has been a regular at the cidery almost since we opened, so Crystal was both excited and slightly nervous to ask if she’d display her work. Admitting you’ve admired someone’s pottery for year is intimidating. 😆

For those who haven’t met her, Kristin is a small-batch pottery artist working from her home studio in Holland, Iowa. She first learned wheel throwing in high school and rediscovered her passion a few years ago after signing up for a pottery class on a whim. Since then, she’s dedicated countless hours to honing her craft and now even teaches wheel throwing classes through the Hearst Center for the Arts.

Her work showcases beautiful craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and the kind of handmade character that makes every piece unique.

And the best part? These pieces are available for purchase! Kristin has included a QR code with the display, making it easy to take home your favorite piece.

We love sharing local artists with our community. Come enjoy Kristin’s passion, our passion, and help support the creativity that makes small-town communities so special.

• Friday: 5–10 PM (Pizza 5:30–9 PM 🍕)

Happy Saturday, Friends! 🍎✨

Tonight marks the return of Luke to the kitchen! 👨‍🍳🍕

Between a week off and then a sick kiddo at home, he’s somehow been away from pizza duty for THREE weeks. We know—it’s been a long time. 😆

Then again, maybe we should keep him up front pouring drinks instead. Feel free to corner him with all your questions about cider flavors, apple season, Felix Grundy Days, RAGBRAI, or whatever new idea he’s currently dreaming up. 🤣

No matter where we put him, we’re excited to be back working side-by-side and sharing what we love with all of you!

📍 Hours:
• Thursday: 5–10 PM
• Friday: 5–10 PM (Pizza 5:30–9 PM 🍕)

See you soon

Happy Friday, Friends! 🍎☀️

🍓 Cider Update!

Raspberry has officially kicked the keg and has been replaced by Strawberry Rhubarb!

This seasonal favorite was made with fresh rhubarb grown right here in Grundy County (also known as our house and two very generous friends’ houses 🤣).

It is bright, refreshing, and absolutely perfect for summer. We only made 3 kegs, and when it’s gone, it’s gone! Since rhubarb is nearly out of season and we needed fresh rhubarb to juice for this batch, we’re not expecting to make any more this year.

🍕 Pizza Update!

Along with our regular lineup of 12” pizzas, June’s specialty pizza is the Thai Chicken Chili!

This sweet-and-spicy creation starts with our house-made chili dip sauce and is topped with:
🔥 Chicken
🥕 Carrots
🧅 Pickled onions
🌿 Cilantro
🥜 Peanut-free “peanut” sauce drizzle

And because details matter, we’ve even added a sesame seed crust edge for the full Thai-inspired experience.

Love Thai chili sauce? Ask for some on the side and turn that crust into the perfect dipping snack!

• Friday: 5–10 PM (Pizza 5:30–9 PM 🍕)

The street taco is done! Sorry for anyone who missed it.
We will still have the classic pizza flavors. Pepperoni, sausage, cheese and supreme. Or your special combo of onions and green peppers if that moves you! 😉 As always it is your choice of rising crust or thin.

If you ask nicely, maybe you can get the June specialty pizza early. Krista will be bartending and tasted it last night and approved.

Happy Sunday, friends! 🍎✨

Just a reminder—we ARE open today, Sunday, May 24, for our normal hours!

Crystal will be holding down the fort today… and if she smells a little extra outdoorsy, our apologies in advance. 🤣

We spent 1.75 hours at Get Air this morning burning kid energy, parent energy, and apparently all available shower time. Straight from jumping and sweating to opening the doors we go! 😂

Such is life in a family-run business during the busy season—sometimes it’s perfectly balanced schedules… and sometimes it’s “hope nobody stands too close at the bar.” 🤪

Thanks for always rolling with our chaos and supporting this wild little adventure of work, kids, family time, and cider. ❤️
