Steampunk Cider is more than a beverage; it's a journey back in time, a fusion of Victorian elegance and futuristic innovation that captures the essence of an era never touched by gasoline engines. Conceived by Jonathan Oakes in 2007, just before the birth of Leonard Oakes Estate Winery, Steampunk Cider found its name in 2010, inspired by the imaginative world crafted by 80s science fiction writers.

At its core, Steampunk Cider is a nod to the past, a tribute to the steam-powered cider mills that once dotted the East coast during the industrial revolution. It's a celebration of a time when cider was a cornerstone of American beverages, a tradition that has reemerged after nearly a century, gaining momentum in today's thriving cider industry.

The Steampunk concept, wildly popular in science fiction circles, seamlessly intertwines with the cider revolution. What started with 100 cases in 2010 has blossomed into an annual production of six to eight thousand gallons, a testament to the remarkable growth and appreciation for our craft. Our annual Steampunk Festival has become a hallmark event, a celebration of innovation, creativity, and, of course, exceptional cider.

Until now, Steampunk Cider has been a local treasure, available in breweries, liquor stores, and online via Leonard Oakes Estate Winery. With our shift to 12oz 4-packs, we're unveiling a new chapter. For the first time, Steampunk Cider graces the shelves of local supermarkets, inviting the general public to experience the rich heritage and taste the legacy of a bygone era.

Embrace the resurgence. Join us in savoring the flavors of tradition, the thrill of innovation, and the timeless allure of Steampunk Cider. Welcome to a world where the past and the future collide in every sip.
