Agorism is a libertarian social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary exchanges by means of counter-economics, thus engaging with aspects of peaceful revolution. It was first proposed by libertarian philosopher Samuel Edward Konkin III (1947–2004) at two conferences, "CounterCon I" in October 1974 and "CounterCon II" in May 1975.

Kind of. I'm in their target market and instead of going "never heard of these guys, let's give it a shot" I added them to "Dipshit CHUDs to tell everyone I know to avoid"

But maybe they'll make up for that selling a Double English Maple IPA to gamergate kids

I hope this is the place to ask about hard ciders. Are there any that taste similar to regular cider, hopefully nationally available? I feel like most hard ciders I've tried taste like hard apple juice.

Little confused since you don’t clarify your interpretation of hard cider v regular cider? I’m a fan of French Normandie ciders, specifically Etienne Dupont’s stuff, particularly his reserve aged in Calvados barrels.

Hard cider containing alcohol, regular cider being the non-alcoholic stuff you buy in milk jugs at hay rides and in the produce section of the grocery store in the fall. Regular cider has kind of a funky, tart flavor and the hard ciders I've had taste like alcoholic apple juice with varying levels of sweetness.

But I'm no hard cider expert and I've only had the mass produced brands sold in six packs next to the beer.

as FL pointed out, ciders from Normandy, Asturia, or Basque country are rad and they tend to be dry, funky, and often a bit tart. if you tell us where you live, i'm sure people can give you more specific recommendations; it's not on the level of beer, but cideries are popping up all over the place nowadays.

local-ish friend said Streetside usually has decent cider on their guest taps, and i seem to remember one of the local breweries making cider, too... maybe Listermann? otherwise, yeah, hit up a good bottle shop and look for stuff from the regions mentioned- Etienne Dupont stuff is widely distributed and around here we see also see Isastegi, Riestra, and sometimes Trabanco, Sagardoa, and Sarasola.

They're done for. A bunch of bars and grocery stores have already announced they won't sell their stuff anymore, and several more announced they had stopped selling their stuff months ago because of their terrible reputation in the local industry.

Meanwhile, their attempt at damage control was... not well-received.

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for a couple of these.

Yep. They were one of the first big local names during the craft beer explosion and is sold basically everywhere you can buy beer. I think their stuff is kinda 'meh' but it's the one your parents want to visit when they're in the city and they think it's pretty hip.

We have a few ciders (well, technically "apple ales"); Dry-Hopped, Semi-Dry and Wowie, which are all canned and distributed, and a few that are draft only in the taproom and around town (Lemongrass Ginger and Swizzle). The Cidergeist Semi-Dry is probably closest to what your looking for, it has a little bit of that murky, unfiltered cider flavor. I totally get what your saying though, most ciders taste like (and are made from) processed and filtered apple juice.

March First Brewing and Sonder (both up in the Mason area) do a bunch of ciders as well. Madtree usually has a taproom-only cider, Listermann usually has a housemade on draft as well. Just about every brewery taproom will have a guest cider on tap, typically just so they have a "gluten-free" offering. The quality varies wildly from place to place though.

I'll also shamelessly plug my restaurant, Sartre OTR, here as well. We have a few really nice basque ciders in bottles available (which I think would be right up your alley, its all apples and funk) and the food is pretty ace as well. If you decide to come check it out let me know, i'll hook you up. Plus, after your nice fancy dinner you can head upstairs to the Rhinegeist taproom and crush some more ciders!

I've had the Cidergeist Semi-Dry before and liked it. I was never a big cider drinker (hard or soft) but was using some soft for a special at work and thought jeez, if hard cider tasted like this I'd drink way more than one or two a year.

This is a very nice offer, especially to someone who just threw shade at your brewery. Unfortunately I'm not in the city all that often, I live and work up in Butler County but will give it a shot the next time I'm in the area.

As the resident Bruery hater... I haven't had White Chocolate in probably 6 years, so maybe in context of the modern pastry movement it is no longer an undrinkable mess of sugar-laden creamsicle beer-trash.

But also it probably still is and the thought of owning 6 bottles of it makes me recoil a little bit. It was definitely one of those bottles that 6 people couldn't finish over the course of a 5-6 hour tasting.

You are already dead
It was nice running into you at Wakefest, FunkyBottoms. Good as hell beer festival imo, the best beer I had all day was the Dancing Gnome Coffee Mexican Chocolate stout, followed probably by Buxton/Omnipollo Blueberry Ice Cream. I wasn't expecting it to be so creamy and chewy and juicy on draft, but it really was incredibly tasty. Obviously Ardent Pils was quite good, as was the Brew Gentleman Zwickel. Sadly missed out on the Cerebral Foudre Lager.

Of the whale stuff, Bake was about the same as I remember it being last year, It Was All A Dream was worthy of its hype, both Antique Blue and BlueBlue were absolutely not even remotely memorable, Faha was a delicious toasted coconut bomb on the level of fresh Prop 13, DB Summation w/ Vanilla or whatever sucked (and literally 4 of the 5 3 Sons beers I had the following day were mediocre too), my girlfriend loved BA Henna Double Rainbow but I don't think I got to try any, Boneflower Meads were fantastic, whatever stout Forager brought was not worth every single bottle of theirs seemingly costing 300 dollars minimum, the Southern Grist/Garagiste PB Mead Stout was exactly as ridiculous as it sounds but tasted good for a baby pour, and unfortunately the Wakefield tent was so loving poorly organized that I didn't get to actually try any of the non-VIP Wake beers except a baby pour of More Kicks Than Copelands.

3 Sons event was hilariously mediocre for the amount of hype the breweries there had. I had the most mediocre Monkish IPA of the five or six I've tried, several stouts that were very degrees of middling to completely overhyped (Black Magick remains the most overhyped beer on the planet, even if Grande Negro Voodoo Papi is loving awesome), two incredibly good Pips meads, and exactly 0 beers that made me really excited to try and trade for them. In fact, the Bourbon/Brandy Medianoche I was excited to try and acquire because I love Weldwerks was absolutely offputting, I think possibly showing very early signs of infection. Fortunately, I got my ticket for free.

Ten Fidy is alright. It's got a lot of body similar to beetus stouts, but it has the bitterness to balance it. It's like a slightly more modern version of Speedway Stout.
