Ed Vargas is the director of cider production and mastermind behind all the flavors and varieties of Brownhoist Cider. He works full-time as a criminal defense attorney, but hopefully, with your patronage, not for much longer.

Brownhoist Cider Company was established in 2021 by two “former” attorneys who are passionate about entertaining, events, and great cider.

The company is currently awaiting approval of the license to sell. Until all the paperwork is official, merchandise is available for purchase. Tastings and other events can also be booked by visiting our Contact page.

David Doughten is the apple gardener and the owner of the Brownhoist Building, the location of the Cidery, on St Clair. He is in the process of retiring from law but he is not good at it.
