Streakin' Johnny Hard Cider in Stores Now  
Von Jakob's Hard Cider
 
With the demand growing for our Streakin' Johnny Hard Cider we've been getting it into more and more stores in the Southern Illinois area. Look for it in liquor stores, grocery stores and local bars and restaurants. If you don't have it in a specific location you're looking be sure to ask the store about getting it in and they should have no problem doing so.  
 
We believe the growth in demand has been so substantial due to the ever growing popularity of hard cider in general, but also specifically for our cider due to the fact that it is a quality product made from 100% local Jonathan apples. 
 
Note some of these stores that currently have our wines may not currently have Streakin' Johnny available but we are working on having them available in the coming months. Please email us at [email protected] to let us know of any stores that we are not in that you'd like to see us in. Cheers!
