Our Story
Wise Bird Cider’s origin story is closely tied to the early days of Tim and Greta’s courtship and a combination of drinking cider, playing Scrabble, late-night games of ping pong, and numerous road trips exploring the craft cider, wine and beer of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What started as a “hobby” while they were living in Washington, DC working insane jobs and spending hours of their day in traffic later became an obsession. Family vacations turned into excuses to visit cideries and take cidermaking classes. One book turned into a collection. One kitchen cabinet of equipment turned into all of the kitchen cabinets. After winning a silver and bronze metal at the Great Lakes International Cider and Perry Competition (GLINTCAP), they decided to make the jump. So they sold their house, packed their bags, put the new baby in his car seat, and moved to Lexington to make a better way of life for themselves, be close to family in town, and start Wise Bird Cider.

ETHEREAL BREWING

A history of Ethereal Brewing and Pepper Distillery

This 25-acre property was home to the historic James E. Pepper Distillery, which began making bourbon in 1879. However, in 1958 the site was abandoned completely, untouched for nearly 50 years. Ethereal Brewing was the second business to open in spite of the clear neglect of the existing structures and the moonscape like parking lot.
Ethereal Brewing’s place on the property begins with Andrew Bishop traveling to Northwood IA to visit family where he found his uncle brewing beer in a small brewery and taproom called Worth Brewing. Andrew saw this as his future, owning and operating a Craft Brewery. He soon found a partner in beer, Brandon Floan, who was captivated by the science of the production of craft beer. Since then, this revitalized piece of Lexington history has become a lively downtown destination. Along with Ethereal Brewing, you’ll find a cidery, a craft ice cream store, a coffee shop and multiple options for food and drink at one of Lexington’s most exciting hotspots.
