Celebrate the 3rd and 4th of July with Blue Bee Cider

A little cider and some big booms make for a uniquely Richmond celebration.

Blue Bee Cider is set to release a new cider and it’s appropriately named for the season, Firecracker. The Manchester cidery is not one to pass on a party and with the 4th of July coming up it makes sense to combine the two into a party/picnic. They won’t be cooking but picnic and grills are welcome.

Fireworks, Cider and Popsicles, July 3

6-10 p.m. at Blue Bee Cider, 212 W. 6th Street, RVA 23224
Join Blue Bee Cider and King of Pops on Thursday, July 3 from 6 to 10 p.m. and enjoy the Richmond fireworks from our patio! Bring a picnic, grab a popsicle, a bottle and some glasses, and enjoy the show!
Fireworks are estimated to begin at or about 9:30ish/sky darkness.

Firecracker Release Picnic + Apple Pie, July 4

11 a.m.-5 p.m. at Blue Bee Cider, 212 W. 6th Street, RVA 23224
Join the Blue Bee Cider team for the release of Firecracker, a dessert cider made from Virginia Gold Rush apples and ginger-infused eau de vie created in partnership with Catoctin Creek Distilling Company andCasselmonte Farm. Only 350 bottles will be sold!
Local Pie Company will be serving up apple handpies to pair with Firecracker.
Bring your own picnic and/or grill from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and take in the city skyline while you enjoy glasses or flights. If it rains we will just bring the party inside. :)
