A foundational American craft cidery founded by Andy Brennan in Wurtsboro — one of the most influential producers in the modern wild apple and natural cider movement. Brennan forages apples from abandoned homestead orchards and pre-Prohibition feral trees across the Hudson Valley and Catskills, producing single-varietal and farmhouse-style ciders that have shaped how American cider makers think about terroir.

Production is small and the operation does not maintain a public tasting room — bottles are sold through limited regional retail and direct allocation. Included here for its central role in the regional cider economy rather than as a visitor destination.
