Hi folks! If you haven't already heard, we opened a new restaurant called Circumstance in Swanville earlier this summer. We offer dinner, brunch, and natural wine Fri-Sun from now til Oct. If you enjoyed Perennial, we think you'll love Circumstance. As before the food is entirely locally sourced and organically grown. We still carry a selection of outstanding ciders from our region, but have expanded our drink list to include like-minded natural wines from around the world. Dinner and brunch menus are updated weeky on our website--circumstancemaine.com. Because we're hosting in our barn, at our homestead, we do require reservations to help manage parking. Follow us on FB at Circumstance: a homestead dining experience and book your table via e-mail: [email protected]. Hope to see you soon!

Dear friends: As we look ahead at 2022, I’ve decided to begin looking for someone with fresh energy to carry Perennial into its next phase, or to take over our lovely turn-key space with another concept. The decision is partly a business decision—we’ve been hit extremely hard by staffing shortages over the past year and the real arrival of COVID in Maine this past fall—and partly a personal decision—my wife and I are excited to welcome another little one into our family in the spring, and after a few years of juggling farm, family, and restaurant—with a lot of the restaurant time being worked alone-- I simply need to consolidate and recharge. Although Perennial is poised to continue developing and evolving and there a several ways I can imagine doing that, the experience of the past few years has left me without enough left in the tank to make that next push. To make an obvious cider pun, it’s very bittersweet. I’m extremely proud of what we’ve offered over the past three years, even though three years is just a beginning. At times we’ve connected with and moved people; at times we’ve missed the mark. There are several things I wish I’d done differently and many things I wouldn’t change at all. In all, I’ve learned a ton. I’m grateful for all the opportunities Perennial has given me to become more deeply acquainted with cider, to share cider and my food with so many friends and strangers, to develop friendships with the cidermakers and apple folk in our community, to open new markets for others, and to express my creativity through cooking. I’m not done cooking--there will be more dinners and more gatherings at some point in the future, in some format, somewhere. But for now, Perennial (or the space) would benefit most from someone else carrying it forward. If you or someone you know would like to chat about the opportunity, DM or e-mail [email protected]. We’d love to make something happen as soon as possible so that whoever’s incoming has time to settle in before the upcoming season. With gratitude, Khris Hogg, Chef/Curator

4-7 tomorrow: Open your New Year's Eve by toasting '21 w a glass of 21 yr old cider. We'll be offering glass pours of this extremely limited cider from Fuente Guijarro in Andalucia (500 bottles made) that we've saved for just such a special occasion. We are often asked about the aging capacity of cider--here's your chance to try the oldest bottle we've ever encountered and judge for yourself (and yes, we've tasted it already and can verify it isn't vinegar). While you're here you can also stock up on ciders for '22 w 22% off any bottle to-go. Other ciders by the glass and snacks available as well. See you tomorrow! #21
