Uncle John’s Heirloom Blend Cider
Pickup only: Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 2–5 p.m. at Gnome Brew. Purchase a container or drop yours off by Friday, November 6.
Each fall, we head to Uncle John’s Cider Mill in St. Johns, Michigan, to bring fresh-pressed heirloom cider back to Gnome Brew. Our 2026 cider buy features their Heritage Blend: juice from traditional heirloom cider apples, ready for your next batch of hard cider—or a glass enjoyed fresh.
Uncle John’s Heirloom Blend has included Golden Russet, Winesap and Northern Spy apples. It was also the foundation of a fruit cider that won gold at the 2024 National Homebrew Competition. This is an opportunity to start your own cider with fruit that has a proven place in exceptional homebrewing.
The juice is fresh-pressed, unpasteurized and contains no preservatives. Fill a fermenter for your next batch, and set aside a little to drink fresh.
Quantities may be limited, and pickup timing may change depending on orchard conditions. If you can’t pick up on Cider Day, contact us to discuss special arrangements. We are not responsible for cider that is not picked up on Cider Day.
