🍎🍺 Matthew Critz took about four years to perfect the recipes and process before Critz Farms' first hard ciders were released. The numerous awards he’s earned recognize all that hard work and patience. Their farm’s apples and requests from visitors prompted the development of the ciders and, in turn, the cider-making inspired Matthew’s expansion to beer. Today you can unwind on the popular patio at Critz in Cazenovia and enjoy the beverage of your choice. Watch the Critz Farms Brewing & Cider Co.
