BottlesUp! is celebrating Chicago Cider Week by hosting one of the most renowned cider makers in America for their First Fridays event on February 3. Farnum Hill Ciders makes slow-fermented orchard cider from rare heirloom and bittersweet apple varieties, many of which had previously been lost to American growers for generations before Steve Wood and Louisa Spencer began growing them at Poverty Lane Orchards in Lebanon, NH. Big, bold tannins emerge together with keen acid to produce a cider that can rival many French Champagnes.

Along with Farnum Hill, enjoy selections from Uncle John’s of Michigan and Stem Ciders of Colorado at this intimate cider tasting hosted by one of the finest bottle shops in the city. From dry and tannic to sweet and fruit forward, a wide range of beverages will be available to sample, while speaking with knowledgeable and passionate cider professionals.

After a long week of drinking cider, we are celebrating the essence of fruit and finishing our meal with brandy. The Green Post will be showcasing some of the world's finest brandies with a few special guests and familiar brandy faces
