Pruner’s Promise Hard Cider

Curious about M.E. + H.C.?

Here’s the story…

As the sun sets over the orchard’s rolling hills, our Pruner, weary from a long day tending his trees, spies a glow of scarlet. Fearing an illusion, he wipes his eyes and steps closer. It is a row of fine, young Honeycrisp. Dedicated to his McIntosh and Empire roots, he feels a twinge of guilt, for the Pruner already has his Pride. As he bites into the Honeycrisp and tastes the sweetness, he weighs his loyalty against his desire. He is struck with the idea of a marriage, and the Promise is made: ME + HC.

At Champlain Orchards, we strive to keep the integrity of our authentic ciders by using only natural sweeteners. For the Pruner’s Pride, we selected a quality Vermont Honey. The Pruner’s Promise includes a touch of naturally concentrated Honeycrisp cider, added post-fermentation to bring out the natural flavors and add a delightful touch of sweetness to our dry cider.
