It’s that time of the week again, #cider friends, when we celebrate the one day we have been working all week to get to: It’s Friday! It has been a hot and humid week for many of us, but nothing is going to keep us from living it up #ciderstyle the rest of this grand weekend.
We are celebrating the end of the workweek with a brand-new version of The Double Tap List, our curated roundup of the most notable and like-worthy cider content that we’ve discovered on Instagram over the past seven days. Get ready for an amped-up weekend with lots of events, including jam festivals, benefits, and cider weeks!
Check out some of our favorite ‘grams from August 4-10:

We are in the midst of the inaugural Sonoma County Cider Week, and the week-long celebration started off with some great events. Horse & Plow, located in Sebastopol, California, kicked off the week with a collaboration cider. To commemorate, this year’s Gravenstein Apple Fair, Horse & Plow Winery joined forces with Tilted Shed Ciderworks to create their playfully named “Tilted Plow.” Only 25 cases were produced, so don’t waste time trying to get your hands on a bottle! The Gravenstein Apple Fair will be Sonoma County Cider Week’s grand finale, featuring a Cider Tent and an Artisan Tasting Lounge.
