117: Distillery Lane Ciderworks | Maryland

In 2000 Rob Miller and his family moved to Frederick County, Maryland after having bought the property that is now called Distillery Lane Ciderworks via an auction. With cider on their mind they immediately got to work creating an 11 acre orchard by planting apple trees.

In 2010, Distillery Lane Ciderworks began selling “hard cider” commercially.

Some of the varieties found in the orchard.

  • Tremlett’s Bitter
  • Bulmers Norman
  • Porters Perfection
  • Kingston Black
