Austin Eastciders, in partnership with DoStuff Media, is launching Eastciders Ramble, a traveling cider and music series. Its mission is to support the local art community by pairing local artists with cider across the markets that sell Austin Eastciders. The series will highlight emerging artists and creators in their own cities all while focusing on the community and neighborhood and adding delicious cider. Starting in August, Eastciders Ramble events are scheduled for Austin, Dallas, San Antonio and New York City with more to be added. (Austin Eastciders, 2017)

Upcoming Eastciders Ramble shows:

  • Dallas: August 12 @ Three Links – Medicine Man Revival and more
  • San Antonio: August 18 @ Paper Tiger – Lonely Horse and more
  • New York: August 24 @ Industry City – Madaila and more

Austin Eastciders was founded in East Austin in 2013 and has since supported emerging artists and artisans including chefs, mixologists, hobby brewers and cider makers. It has also partnered in events such as free concerts, outdoor film screenings, art shows, food festivals and other community arts. Team members play in bands and frequently work with various craftspeople in the process of producing and marketing their cider. Out of an environment of supporting local makers, artisans and musicians came the idea for Eastciders Ramble. This event series is a natural way for the company to connect the craft of cider making to the artesian communities where Austin Eastciders is served.

The Austin Eastciders family of cider includes Austin Eastciders Original, Austin Eastciders Texas Honey, Austin Eastciders Hopped, Austin Eastciders Pineapple and its newest flavor, Austin Eastciders Blood Orange. All Austin Eastciders products are naturally gluten-free, not overly sweet and have a smooth, dry flavor. Austin Eastciders is one of the few cider makers in the United States using bittersweet cider apples to produce its line of ciders.
