Virtue Cider update: Chicago and Michigan markets in early 2012
This update is over four months old. Oops! But better late than never (I blame it on the news surfacing right around the July 4th holiday). More on Greg Hall’s Virtue Cider venture from Eater:
Virtue will start harvesting top heirloom apples from local farms, like Seedling and Nichols, this fall to create “farm-to-bottle” cider. The company will likely deliver its first product to market in early 2012, initially focusing on the Chicago and Michigan markets.
Hall, who recently spent two weeks visiting cider makers in the U.K. and France, plans to first make a couple of English-style ciders to be served on draft at local bars. Eventually he plans to build a bottling line, at which point he’ll expand the offerings to include bottle-conditioned French-style ciders.
