Nine Pin Ciderworks products available at Stewart’s

- By Saratogian staff

Nine Pin Ciderworks products are now available at 134 Stewart’s Shops locations across New York state.

This new partnershi­p between the Albany-based farm cidery and the Saraoga Springs-based convenienc­e store chain is a pairing of two popular Upstate New York agricultur­al focused brands.

Cans of Nine Pin’s cider can be found at each Stewart’s Shop that features a ‘Beer Cave’ section.

Stewart’s customers will be able to choose from Nine Pin’s Signature or Light Cider Variety Packs (consisting of New York Apple, Lavender Lemon, and Cranberry Orange “Lo- Cal” ciders from local farms).

“Our customers already know us for our fresh and local offerings; this new partnershi­p with Nine Pin Cider amplifies our commitment to local farms. We anticipate a strong customer response to this quality product line and the timing couldn’t be better with the holidays upon us,” Gary Dake, president of Stewart’s Shops, said in a press release.

Nine Pin Ciderworks cofounder and cidermaker Alejandro del Peral added, “We couldn’t be more thrilled that Nine Pin is now available in 134 beer caves across New York. Nine Pin’s mission is to support New York agricultur­e by crafting quality ciders using 100 percent New York apples and we are proud of the exciting synergy created by this collaborat­ion with the Stewart’s brand given its focus on agricultur­al products that are local.”

Spencer Noakes, co-founder and general manager of local craft- distributi­on company Remarkable Liquids is glad about the new partnershi­p too. “Stewart’s Shops and Nine Pin Cider are two quintessen­tial parts of life here in Upstate New York and we couldn’t be happier to see the two come together,” he said. “This partnershi­p is a great opportunit­y for cider fans to continue supporting our local producers and enjoy the best of what our state has to offer.”

A store locator can be found on Nine Pin’s website, ninepincid­er.com, for customers to find which Stewart’s locations closest to them that carry Nine Pin Cider.
