Name: Susie & The Pistols
Start: 2026-10-04
Location: Potter's Craft Cider

Potter’s Craft Cider sits in a resurrected 1924 Episcopalian church in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the whole affair feels a bit like a cathedral for the apple‑loving. The place serves ciders that are hand‑crafted from Virginia apples, with zero sugar and a strict gluten‑free policy – proof that tradition can still have a clean conscience. The range leans heavily toward dry styles, so you won’t be chasing fizz that disappears like a bad joke after the first sip.

The tasting room is a delightful mix of reverent stone walls and cheeky bistro string lights, with a cosy outdoor area for those who prefer fresh air to stained glass. Regulars can join the Cider Club, which dishes out limited editions and quarterly allotments – a clever way to keep the palate perpetually surprised (the founders, who had worked together for years, decided that exclusivity should taste as good as it sounds). All in all, Potter’s Craft Cider offers a charming blend of historic ambience and modern craftsmanship, proving that a good cider can be both reverent and rebelliously delicious.
