05.07.2013 SUMMER CIDER RELEASES

"There's a distinct floral element that accompanies the crisp apple bite, which is balanced by earthy undertones, light cinnamon hints, and what tastes like a giant squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Soft, slightly funky (a positive attribute contributed by wild yeast) and refreshing, the cider has a great sweet to tart to dry ratio."

03.29.2013 A PLACE TO TASTE

Argus Cidery began production in April of 2010 and opened their tasting room in February of this year."

03.26.2013 GET FUNKY WITH WILD FERMENTED CIDERS

"These "wild" ciders, many believe, can represent the true character of their farms, exhibiting unique qualities from the region's microflora alongside the influence of the farm's soil and apples."

02.20.2013 TASTEMAKERS

"There’s a new scene brewing in Austin: just southwest of town where the city lights give way to the big and bright stars at night, a new constellation of craft breweries and liquor distilleries are setting up shop."

01.01.2013 DRINK: ARGUS HARD CIDER

"Our new favorite way to toast success is with Argus Cidery's sparkling hard cider."

draft magazine
11.01.2012 NEW-SCHOOL CIDER

“For his Bandera Brut, he presses those sweet Texas Hill Country apples and ferments the juice with wild yeast, then cuts the brew with another yeast strain for complexity.”

“Among the new beverage companies in the region: Argus Cidery, Jester King Craft Brewery and Thirsty Planet Brewing Co.”

07.01.2012 EDIBLE ENDEAVOR

“The result is a crisp, dry cider with fine bubbles that are, according to Mickel, a step higher than very carbonated beer and a step below Champagne.”

austin chronicle
12.30.2011 AUSTIN CIDER HOUSES RULE

“I have to admit, I had low expectations and was instead literally amazed that the Argus had all the bubbly mouthfeel, cleansing acidity, and wonderful aromas we got from the Cava, and the Argus was even drier.”

11.11.2011 THE HARD CIDER BUZZ
