    Behind the Vail: Stafford Cidery

    Behind the Vail: Stafford Cidery
    This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

    Have you ever wondered what it takes to craft hard cider? I had the opportunity to visit Stafford Cidery in beautiful downtown Stafford as part of my “Behind the Vail” series. This series is dedicated to highlighting the local businesses of the 52nd District.

    Dan and Jodi opened the cidery 7 years ago, and it has since grown into a local landmark. I appreciated the time they took out of their schedules to show me how they craft their cider. To achieve a variety of flavors, certain ingredients are added during the fermentation process. The ciders are then canned with uniquely designed labels. Click here to learn more!

    Please note, you must be 21 or older to drink alcohol and all consumption should be done responsibly.

    I will continue to visit businesses throughout our district. If you would like your business to be featured, please contact me!
