I was walking around Edgartown, the historic part of Fort Pierce, Florida, the other afternoon and found myself passing Pierced Ciderworks. I have never gone inside this place, since all signs point to the fact that it might indeed be selling cider, but I do like the building it is housed in. It was originally owned by photographer Harry Hill and is over 117 years old. I took the photograph on the left of the place with their delivery vehicle in the foreground. There is room in that truck bed for lots of cider and it obviously must be pretty speedy, so using it for deliveries makes perfect sense to me.
As I was passing by, I took a look at the entrance to their outdoor patio, as seen in the photograph on the right, and thought it actually looked quite inviting. I checked and found that Pierced Ciderworks does serve an IPA, from nearby Sailfish Brewery, and it seems to me it would be like having a beer in the middle of a tropical jungle. All in all, I thought to myself at the time, probably a good place to check out one of these days.
But then when I got to the edge of the house, I remembered what I learned last year about Pierced Ciderworks - it is evidently a hangout for zombies, as you can clearly see from the warning sign in the photograph on the left. It is well known that zombies crave cider, so it makes perfect sense that zombies would congregate there. Of course, if you do hang out in their patio after dark and have a few pints of IPA, that very well might be that. Of course, I myself have never socialized with zombies, and so perhaps what I have heard and seen about them in social media and films is simply "fake news." And so, perhaps I will have an IPA there one of these days. What could go wrong, right?
