In today’s episode I meet up with Abram, former owner of Cider Riot in Portland, Oregon, and current head cider maker for Alde Sider in Norway. We caught up while at the American Cider Association’s Cider Con in Providence, Rhode Island. We chat about his journey from making cider with a cheese grater in his dorm room to becoming an award winning cider maker, how he uses his creative writing degree, government shut downs mucking things up, cider: the red-headed step child, right sizing a business, and the differences between US and Norwegian cider. I lost my voice while at Cider Con, so enjoy my hoarse, raspy, barely there voice for most of this episode!
