As autumn settles over the Blue Ridge Mountains, the cider makers at Blue Toad Hard Cider are busy crafting rich, seasonal flavors that capture the heart of fall and the magic of the holidays. From crisp October afternoons to cozy December evenings, our lineup of authentic Virginia ciders is designed to pair perfectly with the season.
October: Crisp & Cozy Flavors
October brings Into the Orchard – A perfect blend of Cinnamon, All Spice, Cloves all fermented with our Molasses Amber Base. Pops off the tongue with the perfect carbonation and flavor. Dry, but not too dry… served cold, room temp, or heated up for our Famous, “Hot Toadies”.
November: Blackberry Bliss for the Holidays
In November, we release our Blackberry Cider—a semi-sweet blend made with locally sourced apples and a touch of blackberry. Its rich, complex flavor pairs beautifully with Thanksgiving meals, festive gatherings, or simply relaxing by the fire. This cider embodies the deep, comforting notes of late fall.
December: Winterfest Returns
To close out the year, our signature Winterfest makes its return. Crafted with cranberry and warm spices, this holiday favorite is festive, flavorful, and perfect for sharing with friends and family during the winter season.
