Harvard Cider
New to our store, we'll be having Chase from Harvard Cider come down to taste their ciders. New to game, these guys are doing what we at Colonial love; they use local ingredients. Pull apples from orchards in our immediate area. I love to support local breweries and cider houses, but it always helps when the cider is of fine quality. Come down and meet one of the founders and talk all things cider. February 6th, 1-3pm.

However, for those that still haven't boarded…
