She was immediately hooked and wanted to learn more. The last 2 years she has taken classes with Robert Sullivan through APS partnership and moved to a Nikon D3500. She generally shoots landscapes, but also enjoys finding unique beauty to capture. Additional photographers that have helped her develop are her Uncle Patrick, Rick Houchin, and her mom.

APS BoE Recall Petition Signing Event

Sign your name, to support our community and our children

This is a grassroots nonpartisan event. 

🍎✨ A little something rare is arriving Friday, May 8… and we’re making a night of it. And the majestic Gary of Vinyl Night will be spinning his jazz collection this evening!

Join us for our Pommeau Release Party and be among the first to taste three new pours that blur the line between cider, spirits, and pure indulgence:

🥃 Vieux Doux — traditional French-style pommeau aged on oak with notes of caramel, toffee, rich apple, and oak.

🍊 Pomfashioned — our pommeau nod to an Old Fashioned, steeped with herbs and spice, served over ice with orange rind.

🍒 Pomhattan — a Manhattan-inspired pommeau with cherry, bitters, spice, and all the moody elegance you’d hope for.

Each pour served in its own proper glassware, each with its own personality.

Slow sipping. Cozy vibes. A little French orchard meets cocktail lounge energy in the taproom.

Come taste what we’ve been aging toward. This release is something special. 🍏

Dearest Gentle Readers… 💌
After a most scandalous reshuffling of the social calendar, Bridgerton Trivia Night shall now grace us on May 6th at 6:30 PM.
Do try to recover.
And rumor has it… there may be canapés.
(We make no promises—only whispers and temptation.)
Now, a matter of grave importance:

If the ton continues to express interest without the decency of an actual RSVP… these soirées may cease to exist entirely. 💅

Yes. Gone. Like a poorly matched suitor.

So if you wish to sip cider, flaunt your superior knowledge of Lady Whistledown’s finest scandals, and perhaps nibble a canapé or two—you must RSVP.

✨ Gather your most cunning companions

✨ Dress for drama (optional, but encouraged)

✨ RSVP like your social standing depends on it

Because, frankly… it does.

Yours in cider and quiet desperation,

PIF Cider 🍎🍾

A Create + Rave Night at PIF Cider

Step into the weirdest, most wonderful corner of your week—where crafting meets the dance floor.

We’re turning the taproom into a glowing, bass-filled creative playground. Bring a project you’ve been meaning to finish (or start something completely unhinged), grab a drink, and settle in while EDM pulses all night long.

No pressure. No perfection. Just making stuff with your hands while the music carries you.

✨ Expect:

• A low-stakes, high-vibe crafting space

• EDM beats all night (think: head-nod → full-on groove)

• Tables for collage, DIY, book art, or whatever chaos you bring

• Drinks flowing + creativity unlocked

Come solo or with friends. Talk, zone out, dance a little, create a lot.

Messy hands. Loud plans. Zero judgment.

We are still awaiting labels! We’ll let you know as soon as we can.
Come experience the extraordinary power of Pommeau — 1/4 apple brandy and 3/4 fresh apple juice, aged together in oak. We call it the “port of apples.” We’ve got 3 new Pommeau options coming at you! Join us this evening to be the first to try our:

Pomhattan:
20% abv
Classic cocktail inspired. Traditional Pommeau steeped with classic Manhattan herbs, spices, and cherry. Stirred not shaken, and served in a coupe glass with a cherry.
cherry, oranges, cocktail bitters, oak, rich apple
Pomfashioned:
20% abv
Classic cocktail inspired. Traditional Pommeau steeped with classic old fashioned herbs and spices, served over ice in a rocks glass with orange rind.
oranges, cocktail bitters, oak, rich apple
Vieux Doux (pronounced voodoo) :
18% abv
Traditional French style Pommeau made from mostly bittersweet cider apples blended with distilled apple brandy and aged on oak, served ambient in a snifter glass.
caramel, toffee, rich apple, oak

I volunteer as tribute… for trivia.

Hunger Games Trivia is coming to the taproom!
Books + Movies
If you can tell your Katniss from your Johanna, your District 12 from 13, and you definitely know what happened with those berries… this night is yours.

Gather your smartest allies.
Choose your district wisely.
May the odds be ever in your favor (and your cider glass full).

The Crooked Nook, a pop-up bookstore with a cozy, whimsical vibe that’s all about bringing the magic of books to unexpected places. A roaming Michigan bookstore & more—stuffies, gifts, and all genres of tales with a dash of magic.
Patrons can enjoy great cider while browsing a curated selection of books, from fantasy and fiction to local authors and quirky reads. Think nostalgia meets nightlife: the book fair you loved as a kid, reimagined for adults.
