Episode 57 – Grand Illusion Hard Cider – Chad Kimmel

This episode features Chad Kimmel of Grand illusion Hard Cider.The name Grand Illusion Hard Cider was inspired by magic. Slight of hand if you will. The inspiration for this cider comes from the tasting rooms that you find at breweries. Originally conceived to be a tasting room for wine, Chad made a serendipitous pivot into cider and opened his own vision for what a craft American cidery should be. He draws his inspiration from his own experiences and and the ciders that he has tried. Putting his own spin on the flavor profile. Grand Illusion opened its doors on February 2018 and has quickly become an anchor attraction in downtown Carlisle, PA. 26 W High St, Carlisle, PA 17013 – (717) 462-4716 – www.grandillusioncider.com – Facebook

Episode 39 – Ben Wenk – Ploughman Cider

This episode features Ben Wenk of Ploughman Cider “Greetings From Adams County”. Ben’s family has been farming the land here since the 1820’s. After selling produce at a farmers market in Philadelphia, Ben decided to try a Strongbow. It was different. Not sticky sweet like other ciders. He went home and tried making his first batch of cider. From there he was hooked. Adams County is considered Apple Capital USA. On this episode Ben and I discuss cider, apples and fruit tree farming. “Cider is not a value added product”, Ben explains. We enjoyed this fascinating look into Ben’s families heritage and his passion for cider making.
