Harvest Days 2026 Is Coming to City Orchard

Every fall, the beer world reaches for the pumpkin spice syrup. We reach for a ladder.

Our apples are coming off trees in Western New York right now. They get pressed at the source, and the juice makes its way to Houston, where we blend it, package it, and pour it at the taproom. That is the whole trick behind Harvest Days: it is not a flavor theme, it is an actual harvest, and this season we are turning it into two months of reasons to pull up a chair at Sawyer Yards.

Here is everything happening under the Harvest Days umbrella this fall.

The Kickoff: Saturday, September 19

Harvest Days opens with our favorite pairing of the season: warm cider donuts and a cold pour of Harvest Spice.

Queen Donut is making the donuts, they are here all day, and when they are gone, they are gone. Bayou City Groove brings the brass from 5 to 8, and Harvest Spice, our flagship fall cider, is pouring front and center.

Come early for the donuts, stay late for the horns.

Cheese Pairing: Saturday, October 3

Cider and cheese belong together, and on October 3 we are proving it twice.

To keep the experience intimate while still letting more people join us, we are hosting two Harvest Days Cheese Pairing sessions at the taproom:

Session 1: Saturday, October 3 from 2:00 to 4:00PM

Session 2: Saturday, October 3 from 5:30 to 7:30PM

Expect a guided pairing built around the kind of cider we love most: real apples, real structure, bright acidity, and enough character to stand up to rich, salty, creamy, and funky cheeses.

It is a chance to slow down, taste through the pairings, ask questions, and see why cider deserves a permanent seat at the cheese board.

Space is limited for each session so we can keep the tasting personal, relaxed, and worth lingering over.

The Big One: Harvest Days Festival, October 10 + 11

Two full days, and the yard goes full orchard.

Pumpkin patch with haybales. Pumpkin painting while supplies last. Apples straight from our orchard, while those last too. Cider donuts are back. On Saturday, Mallory Tripplet plays 2 to 5 and DJ Blaknificent takes over from 6 to 10.

And the pours rise to the occasion: the Cranberry Vanilla Old Fashioned, the Frozen Pumpkin, and the Harvest Flight, four ciders that only make sense together in the fall: King Blossom, Kingston Black, Cranberry Vanilla, and Harvest Spice.
