Cider: A Taste of New York
For food and beverage enthusiasts, a trip to the Catskills can often be a journey exploring one particular food, crop, or product. We know this to be true about apple picking in the fall, and naturally it extends to a drink that has become synonymous with New York State's rich agricultural tradition and booming industry of hard apple cider. Cider is soaring in popularity all across the country, and producers in our region are exploring age-old techniques as well as new, exciting methods of creating complex, flavorful, and unique versions of this beloved drink.

For owners Phil and Donna Vallone, the resulting line of Trout Town beers, created by the company's brewmaster Josh Hughes, is an expression of love for their hometown and craft brewing. The beer list currently includes ten beers from light to dark with names like Two Headed Stout (according to a local legend about a trout who couldn't decide which creek to follow) and Darwin's Theory. In a matter of years, the Roscoe Beer Co. has clearly found its place in the community. The beer itself is by all accounts outstanding, having already won honors such as the Bethel Woods Craft Beer Festival People's Choice Award for three years in a row, and a tied first place out of 170 New York breweries who competed in Governor Cuomo's Taste NY Craft B...
