Real life husbands Johnny Pizzolato and Roswell Hamrick, co-founded the Stickett Inn and the concept for Stickett Inn Cider in 2012. Pizzolato, an Illinois-native, former thespian and punk singer-cum-fashion publicist, and Hamrick, a South Carolinian southern belle, who has worked as an art director and production designer in film and television for over 20 years, reside between NYC and Sullivan County, New York. They set out to make a cider that truly reflects life in upstate New York--dry, hard, and beautiful.  In 2017, they teamed up with Bad Seed Cidery to make Stickett Inn Cider. The mildly tart, dry and hard flavor has amassed a cult following that begs the question, “Why not Stickett Inn Cider?.”
