Cider Chat 135: Viejo High Pours in Fishtown | Philadelphia
Viejo is a barrel aged cider made by Joe Getz of Kurant Cider. This cider is a single varietal cider made with Winchester apples.
Described on Kurants website as:
"a blend of wild fermented ciders created by using some of the best apples we could source in Pennsylvania. The ciders used to blend Viejo were aged for 6-18 months in oak before being used in the finished product. Viejo is a still cider meaning non-carbonated. It's meant to be served with a long pour from great heights to aerate and add effervescence." Joe in the barrel room[/caption]
In this chat taste and talk Viejo and follow up with Joe on the opening of the Fishtown taproom, which much like Viejo took over a year to build out.
A Porron is used by Kurant Cider for in high pours of cider/sidra
A 19th century carriage house was renovated into the new Taproom, which has an upstairs (The Attic) and a main floor serving area. The giant garage door rolls up and the entire taproom opens to the outdoors.
