During a recent visit to Raleigh Beer Garden, we had the privilege of meeting John and Robin Washburn from Bold Rock Cider. Small business owners John, an apple farmer and Robin an interior designer have put their minds together to create a beautiful cidery along with business partner Brian, a world renown award winning cider maker from New Zealand. They have earned over 60 awards. Their latest creation is an India Pale Ale Apple Beer.
Robin has designed the interior for the Bold Rock Cider Company. She used a 25' tall rock and a cherry mantel framed on each side by 2 antique apple wood ladders to create a fireplace in the original tasting location. As an animal lover, she recently rescued a parrot named Alfie who entertains guests.
John and Robin support various community organizations including an animal sanctuary, their Natural History Museum's Fundraiser Kite Festival where John announces the duck race like it's a horse race and donates the purse and they support several other local worthwhile causes.
Great couple. Can't wait to visit their new place in Raleigh as well as Asheville.
