The Dark Sweet Cherry cider is the sweetest that Locust has to offer, and uses Granny Smith apples with Washington Cherries to produce a wonderfully flavored drink. The first, the Original Dry, is a session cider meant to be easily enjoyed and paired with just about anything. The best for Locust comes in the form of three currently featured ciders. The mission behind the cider is to make the best accessible to everyone. “There’s no excuse for accepting less than the best,” Spears says. That philosophy now lives on in every bottle that Locust Cider produces, an endeavor Spears launched with his younger brother. And in that moment, Spears realized how fragile life could be, but also how great you could live it. As he lay near the side of the road waiting for the ambulance, the one thing he focused on was that locust hum. Luckily, the club snapped in half and Spears was able to get away. While out hitting golf balls with his younger brother, a group of men came up and began to beat him with his own golf club. When he was 13-years-old, Spears had a run in with some terrible people. His plan was to make a cider that was high in quality, but low in cost.īut again, why Locust? It seems like an odd name to put on a bottle. Spears decided to begin experimenting with making cider on his own, and after about six months, he had realized that it was something he would love to do for a living.
The only problem was that the Cidre Reserve was both hard to get and hard to afford. He then realized first hand the potential cider had. His options were limited, until he stumbled upon a bottle of France favorite Dupont Cidre Reserve. He looked into ciders, but at the time they were far less popular than they are today. But when he began to develop an allergic reaction to beer, he had to look elsewhere for a new type of drink. He was a fan of the craft beer scene and the variety that was offered within. Spears did not initially choose cider when given the option. But to Locust Cider co-owner and cider maker Jason Spears, it is a sound that reminds him of the resilience of life. Even if you cant see their large bodies, the swarm they travel in sings constantly, engulfing you in a never-ending hum of noise. A locust is a loud, large and loutish bug that invades southern states for months on end. The name may not initially give off a pleasant picture.
