Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Hope you don't overdo the turkey or the pie. Afterwards, be sure to wash down the meal with a nice glass of wine. Or, better yet, perhaps a tasty glass of cider.
We covered a lot of ground during our conversation, including the role Australia played in convincing the family to launch Meriwether. Of course, we also talked about where the name came from. (Hint: there is both a familial and an historical connection.)
Molly says the response to Meriwether Cider has been great since the family started operations nearly three years ago. We talk about that response and why she thinks Boise has been so responsive both to Meriwether and to cider in general.
We also talk about the new Cider House, which has been open roughly two months, and what makes it different from Meriwether's Garden City taproom. That leads into a discussion of why each location has its own unique social media presence.
Education is a big part of the family's plans for Meriwether Cider, and Molly talks about her goals in that area. Part of that includes an effort, as she puts it, to "make cider legit" and overcome the ideas some people have about what cider is. (For instance, did you know that cider is technically classified as a wine? I didn't.)
We also talk about the effort and process of opening the downtown Cider House and the journey thus far. All of that, plus a few tidbits from the world of alcohol.
