Free Naked Flock Tasting

According to the organizers:

Nothing gets us excited about fall like crisp, local cider, so we’re celebrating Cider Week NYC in style. Join us for a free tasting of Applewood Winery’s Naked Flock in our Brooklyn store all Friday night.

Wondering where their name came from? According to them, “The Naked Flock Story is an old folk tale from the town of Warwick. There was a Pastor who was great friends with Moby Dick Author Herman Melville. Melville brought the Pastor a gift from a trip to the Orient. Seeds that the Pastor planted in his garden and grew into the most beautiful Poppies that anyone in the town had seen. One day the geese broke into the garden and ate the Poppies, and yes, they were those kind of Poppies. The geese fell into a sleep so deep that they were thought dead and plucked by the pastors children for their feathers. To everyones shock, hours later the geese awoke and staggered around naked. The Pastors own congregation was horrified by the sight and demanded the geese be slaughtered. But listeneing to the pleas of his children he decided to take a stand and defend the Naked Flock.”

See you in DUMBO!
