Recent ARCS Events

ARCS members spent a wonderful April afternoon learning about the science of cider making – and savoring the handcrafted hard cider - at the UrbanTree Cidery in West Midtown. UrbanTree Cidery is the first farm-to-table cidery in Atlanta, making cider from apples harvested and hand-pressed in North Georgia. The cider is then transported to the UrbanTree Cidery in West Midtown for onsite fermentation, blending, aging, infusion, and carbonation. Each cider recipe has been perfected over time, and ARCS members enjoyed tasting many different flavors, including Original Dry, Barrel-Aged, Blueberry, Lavendar-Lemon, and many others. What could be more enjoyable than connecting with friends through the delicious complexity of science and cider!
