Bad Seed Cider to Open Taproom on Franklin

Hey all, I was just biking down Franklin and, between Atlantic and Pacific, I noticed folks putting the finishing touches on the taproom for Bad Seed Cider—a Hudson Valley producer. Supposed to open in later September. https://www.badseedhardcider.com/bad-seed-brooklyn-tap-room

Readers, this is going into the big brick building that is being rehabbed. We've known it was coming, but haven't followed the progress closely http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/45144/restoring-the-old-nassau-brewery#Item_3

Actually, not in the Nassau. On Franklin, near Pacific.

Ok, this is coming to 585 Franklin. Isn't something beer related going into Nassau as well? Or, did these folks consider Nassau but change their mind?

That's Embassy Bar. Still coming, I think. http://imbibemagazine.com/angus-winchester-on-the-embassy/

"Albert Wilklow, an heir of the 200-acre orchard, inked a 1,100-square-foot retail space on the ground floor of 585 Franklin Avenue between Pacific Street and Atlantic Avenue in Crown Heights for Bad Seed Cider Company. Bad Seed Cider will have 20 rotating taps, servicing cider made with apples from the more than 150-year-old farm, and other craft beverages from the Hudson Valley region area. It will also offer baked goods and artisanal cheeses. The asking rent in the 10-year deal was about $65 per square foot." https://commercialobserver.com/2017/10/apple-orchard-owner-to-open-craft-beer-inspired-taproom-in-crown-heights/

now open.

Ms. Whynot and I can report that they have about 12 ciders on tap and that some of them are indeed yummy. One can buy flights (samples of 4 flavors). The one called "apple pie" was the spicy one, but we liked it.
