Kurant Cider Coming to East Girard Ave


  Kurant Cider will be setting up shop in Fishtown at 436 East Girard Ave. in place of a former garage. Reconstruction will begin soon. The cidery is expected to open in August. It will serve as both a test kitchen and a bar at which various Pennsylvania wines, beers and spirits will be sold.cider garage girard

   Co-owners Joe Getz and Michael Meyers first met when one tried to buy brewing equipment from the other. They were attracted to Fishtown as a place to establish their newest business location because of the neighborhood’s “collaborative” aura. Fishtown’s Kurant Cider will include a small brewing system, though most of the production will continue to take place at its flagship location in Bucks County at the Free Will Brewing Company.

   Several other similar projects are in the works in Fishtown. At 1727 N Front St., the Evil Genius Beer Company will be opening a brewery and tasting room. An old elevator factory at 1100 Frankford Ave. is being converted into the Fishtown Brewpub (to open this spring). Lastly, the Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company is allegedly planning on opening a taproom across the street from the Fillmore.
