This Friday, we are back with another Cider Culture Virtual Happy Hour! These happy hours have provided such a fun way to connect after days of isolation, and it’s wildly exciting to have an actual social gathering to look forward to on a Friday after work. If you haven’t checked out a Cider Culture Happy Hour yet, please drop in this week!
This week’s hang will be hosted by Ian Capps of Stem Ciders in Denver, Colorado. Stem’s head cider maker since 2015, Ian is charged with turning all the juice into all the cider. Originally from Grand Junction, Colorado, and now a longtime Denver resident, Ian’s unique background in brewing, cider making and distilling leads the way in both traditional cider making and product innovation. Having once made booze from a few ingredients in a trash bag while deployed on a U.S. submarine in the Persian Gulf, for Ian, experimentation and trying crazy new things is what makes his cider making game best-in-class. When he’s not in the cellar, you’ll find him out on his bike, at a soccer game, or enjoying some family time.
