Angry Orchard
Our (lucky) cider makers travel the world in search of the very best cider apples. After touring countless orchards in the U.S., France and Italy, it dawned on them that some of the best apples for making cider actually look gnarly and angry, unlike apples you’d find at the grocery store. The apples produce more tart and tannic juice, so they are perfect for cider.

Tres Generaciones
In 1973, on the 100-year anniversary of the Sauza family distillery, Don Francisco Javier held a dinner to celebrate the Dons who came before him – and raise his glass to all they had endured in creating one of the most influential tequila houses ever founded. It was during this dinner that Don Francisco served his guests a never-before-seen spirit, housed in 100 green ceramic bottles and engraved with the faces of the ‘Three Dons.’ These was one of the first añejo tequilas ever served, having been tucked away and aged for over a year in the cellars of ‘La Perserverancia’ distillery just for this occasion. And so, Tres Generaciones was born, designed by Don Francisco Javier to put tequila on the map among the world’s best spirits.

New Pittsburgh Courier
Established in 1907 by Edward Harleston, a guard in the H. J. Heinz food-packing plant, the Pittsburgh Courier gained national prominence after attorney Robert Lee Vann became the newspaper’s editor and publisher, treasurer, and legal counsel in 1910. In his lifetime, Vann saw the Courier grow to become the largest, most influential Black newspaper in the nation with a circulation of 250,000 and over 400 employees in 14 cities. In the 1920s, Vann made efforts to improve the quality of the news included in the growing paper. In November 1925, the Courier joined the Associated Negro Press, the news collective of African-American publications. Under Vann, the “Local News” section of the Courier covered the social lives of the upper- and middle-class members of the Hill District. Today, the New Pittsburgh Courier continues to serve as a trusted vehicle for Black expression, publishing an award-winning edition every Wednesday and hosting three events, annually, where we recognize Black excellence in the Greater Pittsburgh region.https://newpittsburghcourier.com/
