BROOKS HAS A STORY TO TELL.
Brooks first discovered cider while living in England and drinking a rough, dry style called ‘Scrumpy.’ The name was weird but the cider was good. And now, knocking back a glass of cider — even the funky stuff — makes Brooks feel nostalgic about his time across the pond.
His recreational drinking preference soon turned into something more concrete and commercial. After helping mill and press apples at a barn-turned-cidery in Northern Michigan Brooks landed in the San Francisco Bay Area and set out to make a drink true to his time in the UK and the USA. He aimed to dial down the sweetness, use fresh juice, and make everything in California. The result is a cider that’s crisp and light with a mighty good bite.
