autumn IS APPLE TIME

Sweet Cider Pressing Starting For Season

By LIBBY CUDMORE

S

ome traditions never get old.

“Making cider is a family thing,” said Dale Dyn, who owns Dyn’s Cider Mill, Town of Richfield. “We do custom pressings, so people can pick their apples and bring them here.

We wash, grind, press, pasteurize and bottle, whether you bring your own bottle or buy ours.”

The mill dates to 1929, when her husband Ken’s grandfather, John, opened the mill inside a former cheese factory to press cider for the locals who brought

in apples from their backyard orchards. “Back then, people would bring barrels to load up on hard cider,” she said. “We may have made cider during Prohibition!”

John’s son Walt took it over.

He died in 1974, and Dale and Ken have run it ever since. The husband handles the press – the apples come from orchards in Lafayette – and the wife runs the store and bakes more than a dozen treats, from pies to pastries to homemade fudge. On Wednesdays, Dyn’s offers a spaghetti dinner, and on Sundays a breakfast menu.

For custom pressings, eight Please See APPLES, Pg. 6

specialized in inflatable sculptures, had a gallery in SoHo, and would sell things he found at auctions. “I was fascinated with them,” he said. “We didn’t have that in the city. You could come up here and fill up a car for $20.”

His wife, Judith, was a

teacher, and on weekends would sell their auction finds in a booth on Canal Street. But she was looking to get out of teaching, and they both loved Upstate New York so much they decided to move here permanently.

When they bought the

barn, there were no doors and the roof had holes. “We were selling stuff out of boxes,” he said. “I’d work on the roof and then go to auctions and yard sales.”

Back then, he said, a lot of farms were going out of business, so he would buy tools and broken farm

equipment. “I really like the industrial – gears and wheels,” he said. “It wasn’t popular for awhile, but now people want it again.”

Among his most unique finds was a traveling butcher shop. “I bought what looked like a dog’s house because Please See ANTIQUES, Pg. 8

The butcher would have a lamb or a pig hanging in there, and go from door to door selling chops.”

But it doesn’t have to be antique, just interesting.

“There’s a lot of reproductions of the Buddha or Victorian urns,” he said.

“I gravitate towards those, even if they’re not old.”

Even with four floors, eventually, there wasn’t enough space for everything, and now there are treasures to be found on the lawn. “I added paths and ponds,” he said. “The land, to me, is like a big block of wood and I’m chiseling it out. There’s a big difference if something is here or there.

It’s like mixing colors on a great big palette.”

In addition to his shop, he also welcomes the annual Cooperstown Antique Festival in the field next to the barn. “The antique show was about to dissolve because they couldn’t find anywhere to have it,” he said. “I offered to let them use the field.” (Wood Bull also hosts the annual Susquehanna Valley Garlic Fest, coming up 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22.)

People are drawn to antiques, Coburn said, because you’re all but guaranteed that no one else will have anything like it. “I had an old drafting table and someone bought it to use as a dining room table,” he said.

“It was very interesting, not just something you would go into a Pottery Barn and find.”

QUAFFING autumn ALES

Inspired By Oktoberfest, Dark Beers Planned Here

hile the seasons change, one thing always changes with them: Beer.

“In the summertime, people tend to drink lighter beers because it’s hot out and they’re thirstier,” said David Olson, owner of Red Shed Brewery on Route 33 south of Cooperstown. “But there is a tendency to lean more into darker beers as the weather begins to turn.”

Brown porters and darker brews tend to be “comfier” in colder weather, he said.

Opening last November, the Red Shed Brewery is Otsego County’s newest brewery, (although it continues to operate a tasting room opened in 2015.)

Now, Olson is preparing his brewery’s first autumn beer: Pumpkin spice amber lager. “The lagering process takes months so we’ve already started making it,” he said.

Red Shed Brewery is planning to release its Oktoberfest beer at its own celebration, a little early: Sept.

21-23. It will also feature German food and music.

Most County Breweries Plan Fall Beers BEERS/From Pg. 9 Phil Leinhart, brewmaster at Brewery Ommegang, a couple of hundred yards south of the Red Shed, said the term “fall beer” is a bit more ambiguous than beer fans may think.

“There really is no official definition as to what exactly a ‘fall beer’ is,” he said. “It really comes down to whatever you want to market

each beer as.”

But what makes slightly darker beers more popular in the fall? It may go back to beer’s German roots, Leinhart said.

“Historically, it all generates around Oktoberfest and all of the different beers that breweries in Munich produce leading up to the festival,” he said.

Oktoberfest, the Bavarian

harvest celebration, has been celebrated in Munich for over 200 years, and brings 6 million visitors to Munich annually over 16 days to guzzle down 7.7 million liters of beer.

Oktoberfest’s main beer is an amber lager style brew, which is produced around the world in coordination with the event.

At Cooperstown Brewing

Company in Milford, Manager Lauren Ward said it’s releasing a brand-new bear, Mr. Oktoberfest. “It’s a marzen style beer, brewed with Munich and Vienna malts,” she said. “It will have a copper color and a slight sweetness to it.”

Roots Brewing Co. in Oneonta is also planning its first autumn beer. “I’m working on a fall Belgian dubbel,” a dark malty beer with caramel notes, said brewmaster Jason Parrish.

“It’s exciting. It’s a new beer for us. We’ve never done

this one before.”

At Butternuts Beer & Ale in Garrattsville, owner Chuck Williamson is creating an autumn pumpkin brew.

The recipe includes 10 pounds of pumpkin for every 30 gallons, he said, and the brewery is filled with locally sourced gourds from a Middlefield patch.

“People love the pumpkin saison,” Williamson said.

“I’ve had people that don’t drink beer that come up to me and say that they can’t wait for it to come back.”
