Philadelphia Cider Week is back and tastier than ever for its 8th year! From Sunday October 25th to Sunday November 1st, this bushel of events is all about local apples, PA ciders, and some of our favorite spots to soak up fresh, Fall air and good company.

Philly Cider Week Opening
Sunday, October 25, 2 PM - 7 PM
Pip’s

The week kicks off at Pip’s in Fishtown (Ploughman Farm Cider’s first Philly taproom!) where Pennsylvania producers will be offering their ciders from 2 PM to 7 PM alongside local artists, Mommom’s Polish Kitchen, Okie Dokie’s gluten free donuts, and more.

Stay a bit later for some dancing, drinking, and snacking at Pip’s 1-year Anniversary Party where folks will be celebrating with the taproom’s barrel aged series, Pigeon Hawk, Fish Hawk, and Hemiola (plus some old-school hip hop, of course). Music starts at 9 PM! Cheers!

ANXO Tap Takeover
Monday, October 26, 5 PM - 8 PM
Khyber Pass Pub

Our friends at Khyber Pass are hosting ANXO for their annual tap takeover – complete with an a-peel-ing special guest. Grab a drink and get to know Head Cider Maker, Charlie Burt, while he’s onsite and ready to share all the in-cider knowledge. Can’t make it that night? No worries, swing by any day of the week-long celebration for a Cider Week beverage.

Cider & Cheese Class
Wednesday, October 28, 6pm - 7:30pm
Philly Cheese School

We’re really juiced about this one!

Bring your senses and analysis skills; Claire and Alex will take care of the rest.

Plus, the experience is totally gluten free. Celiac folks, rejoice!

"Carl & Friends": Cider Dinner with Claire Trindle
Thursday, October 29, 6:30pm - 9:30pm
Carl

Calling all foodies! Team Carl and Founder of Blind Bear Beverages, Claire Trindle, are joining forces for an apple-solutely delicious and immersive dining experience. The evening kicks off with a unique cider cocktail, small bites, and social hour, then moves into three savory courses, dessert, and of course, some of the team’s favorite glasses of cider along the way.

Claire (Pennsylvania's first and only woman Certified Pommelier™, btw!) is known for her expert guidance on flavor and food pairings, and Carl was named Best of Philly 2025 Dinner Party, so this just feels like it was “ferment” to be.

Additional BYO beverages are also welcome!

Purchase your tickets here.
(1830 Lombard St, Philadelphia, PA)

ANXO - Meet The Maker
Friday, October 30, 8pm - 11pm
Doom

If you can’t catch him earlier in the week, ANXO’s Head Cider Maker Charlie Burt will be spending Friday evening with our spooky pals over at Doom. Head over to our favorite heavy metal-inspired bar for – you guessed it – cider specials, conversation, and scary good cocktails.
