Cider Chat

February 7, 2017 at 4:30pm Cider Chat at The Northman    recording chats with patrons on Cider Stories! Brian Rutzen is the Cider Director at Chicago’s first cider bar, The Northman managing 20 taps of cider, 5 craft beers and in total over a 100 options of cider to partake at this 63 seat bar. We chat how The Northman helps patrons understand cider, how it is poured, cellaring cider, cider with food, and lots of tips for attendees heading to the windy city for CiderCon (the annual cider conference for members of the United States Association of Cider Makers). Chicago is a city of neighborhoods - with many of the names reflecting the immigrant groups that settled there. Pilsen for instance got its name from the Czech immigrants and is now housing many Mexican immigrants. Brian says “Chicago is setup as a grid.” Making it fairly easy to get about Go to this page to see the ciderchat.com show notes page with photos  O'Hare Airport apple history What does the airport code ORD stand for at this mighty Chicago hub
