Six Years of City Orchard: Live Music, Cider, and a Weekend of Celebrating Houston

Six years ago, City Orchard opened its doors with a simple idea: bring real, orchard-driven cider to Houston and create a place where people could gather, relax, and raise a glass together.

Since then, we’ve shared countless pours, hosted first dates and birthday parties, watched friend groups turn into regulars, and welcomed new faces from all over the city. This year, we’re marking 6 years of City Orchard with a full weekend of live music, great cider, and a little extra fun in the form of giveaways at the taproom—and you’re invited.

Grab your crew, mark your calendar, and come celebrate with us.

Saturday: Live Music with Mallory Triplett – 3 PM

We’re kicking off the anniversary weekend on Saturday with an afternoon set from Mallory Triplett starting at 3 PM.

Mallory is a singer-songwriter whose style fits perfectly with the vibe of the cidery—laid-back, melodic, and just emotional enough to make you want to linger over one more glass. Think cozy acoustic energy that pairs just as well with a solo cider at the bar as it does with a big table of friends.

Sip, Listen, and Enter to Win

To add a little extra fun to the day, we’re running a special raffle during Mallory’s set:

• Buy any beverage while the music is playing

• Get a raffle ticket

• Be entered for a chance to win—we’ll pull 3 winners before the music wraps up

Prizes will vary, but you can expect City Orchard goodies that make your next visit even better. It’s our way of saying thanks for being part of this milestone and for supporting local music, too.

Sunday: Live Music with Taylor Marberry – 2 PM

The celebration continues on Sunday with another live set, this time from Taylor Marberry, starting at 2 PM.

Taylor’s also a singer-songwriter with a knack for easygoing, acoustic-driven songs that fit right into a slow Sunday afternoon. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to settle in, order a flight or a pint of your favorite cider, and just enjoy being exactly where you are.

More Music, More Chances to Win

Just like Saturday, we’re keeping the good vibes going with another round of our anniversary raffle:

• Buy any beverage while Taylor is on stage

• Get a raffle ticket

• We’ll draw 3 more winners during the show

Whether you stop by one day or both, every beverage you buy during the music is a chance to take home something extra.

We’ll also be pouring into a limited-edition 6th anniversary collector glass, available all weekend while supplies last—perfect for raising a birthday toast and taking a piece of the party home with you.

What to Sip While You’re Here

Anniversary weekends are the perfect excuse to revisit your favorites or try something new. While you’re listening to Mallory or Taylor, you might:

• Order a classic City Orchard cider if you’re craving something crisp and familiar

• Try a seasonal or small-batch release you’ve been eyeing on the menu

• Grab a flight and taste your way through a few different styles

No matter what’s in your glass, you’re tasting the result of years of work—from orchards to cellar to taproom.
