Local Collaborations
Our tour stops are just the start of the region’s amazing craft beverage scene. Some of our tour stops are partaking in amazing collaborations with local breweries this fall. In honor of the Wayne County bicentennial this year, Long Acre Farms has teamed up with Reinvention Brewing Company to brew something special. Head to either location to try their 1823 Ale, a malt-forward beer with a bit of grainy flavor and some subtle sweetness of raisins and honey. This beer is only available during October!
Youngman Orchards Farm Market has teamed up with K2 Brothers Brewing for a special fall release. The brewery recently announced an Apple Pie Sour made with Youngman Orchards Farm Market’s delicious apples. The sour is brewed with Honeycrisp apple juice, apple puree, cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean. There’s nothing better than some locally made beer, wine or cider after a day of picking apples, so make sure you hit these amazing local spots while you’re exploring the Apple Tasting Tour!
