Black Apple Hard Cider- Leo Orpin
Description
On this week’s edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas, we’re at Black Apple Hard Cider in downtown Springdale, talking to Co-owner Leo Orpin. Black Apple just celebrated its 9th anniversary!
It’s the first and only cidery in the state of Arkansas, and they had to take on educating the masses about cider.
I’ve always been curious as to how Black Apple got its name, and it’s a fun story. It was almost names something else. Also, Leo tells us how cider is similar to soccer. Is it? Here it is.
And did you know that Black Apple was rated the 4th best cidery in the country? They also earned a gold medal for one of their ciders overseas in the motherland… Leo will tell the story.
Finally, breaking news of a fall release, and there are new plans for the tasting room. The remodel has started!
Leo breaks it down right here on this edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas!
