It's back for the sixth year in a row— Virtue Cider’s annual Stone Fence Cider Cocktail Competition! Held this year at award-winning bar The Violet Hour, the Stone Fence Cider Cocktail Competition provides a platform for Chicago’s top bartenders to put their signature on the Stone Fence cocktail that will be evaluated for the Grand Prize by a selection of influential judges and one People’s Choice vote.

We're beyond excited to be both competing and sponsoring this year, raising money for Growing Home! We've got a long standing history with apples...and let's just say, our GM Adira has years of apple magic up her sleeves.
