APS BoE Recall Petition Signing Event

Sign your name, to support our community and our children

This is a grassroots nonpartisan event. 

🍎✨ A little something rare is arriving Friday, May 8… and we’re making a night of it. And the majestic Gary of Vinyl Night will be spinning his jazz collection this evening!

Join us for our Pommeau Release Party and be among the first to taste three new pours that blur the line between cider, spirits, and pure indulgence:

🥃 Vieux Doux — traditional French-style pommeau aged on oak with notes of caramel, toffee, rich apple, and oak.

🍊 Pomfashioned — our pommeau nod to an Old Fashioned, steeped with herbs and spice, served over ice with orange rind.

🍒 Pomhattan — a Manhattan-inspired pommeau with cherry, bitters, spice, and all the moody elegance you’d hope for.

Each pour served in its own proper glassware, each with its own personality.

Slow sipping. Cozy vibes. A little French orchard meets cocktail lounge energy in the taproom.

Come taste what we’ve been aging toward. This release is something special. 🍏

Dearest Gentle Readers… 💌
After a most scandalous reshuffling of the social calendar, Bridgerton Trivia Night shall now grace us on May 6th at 6:30 PM.
Do try to recover.
And rumor has it… there may be canapés.
(We make no promises—only whispers and temptation.)
Now, a matter of grave importance:

If the ton continues to express interest without the decency of an actual RSVP… these soirées may cease to exist entirely. 💅

Yes. Gone. Like a poorly matched suitor.

So if you wish to sip cider, flaunt your superior knowledge of Lady Whistledown’s finest scandals, and perhaps nibble a canapé or two—you must RSVP.

✨ Gather your most cunning companions

✨ Dress for drama (optional, but encouraged)

✨ RSVP like your social standing depends on it

Because, frankly… it does.

Yours in cider and quiet desperation,

PIF Cider 🍎🍾

All original electronic dance music at 8:30pm; bring your art to work on!!!!! This was so much fun last time.

Fantasy Book Club first meeting!
