I get the feeling that Kegger will have another guess coming if he thinks that he will ever get any cider from the Apple family. I am willing to bet he is running his bar at a substantial loss trying to corner the market in Ponyville and he is barely afloat. Hopefully he goes under before Pip goes to far down the Strip Club route. Plus I still think Succubus is a Changeling and she is ashamed of her heritage. Her reaction to Rarity and her daughter are my main clues.
7500035 Yup. Heck, if selling to Pip stopped working because The Cove went out of business, she'd probably just arrange with her sister-in-law Luna to cater royal events with her cider. Before long, she'd be catering every event in Canterlot with hard cider, due to the slavish fawning of nobles...especially if Celestia decided she enjoyed SAA hard cider.

Just as a little joke, I had the thought of bringing in a pony that had the backbone and attitude, as well as the knowledge of bar science, of John Taffer, but that's just me you've already chosen what to do, but I just wanted to share what I thought would have been fun.
On one hand, Pip's girl is crazy hot. On the other hand, she seems really crazy, like she's deeply broken and doing her absolute best everything to make Pip totally fall for her. I can just imagine her screaming internally "Do you love me yet? I love you, so please love me! I want you to love me! I need you to love me! Just love me! Whatever it takes, whatever you do, I'll put up with it, just love me!" Her behavior is extremely exaggerated and feels like an act. She's got something in store once the trial period is over and she has Pip locked down, doesn't she, or she's at least planning something.

I can see Luna trying to get the nobles to try it...and failing because it's not high end enough for their tastes

What about the whole desperately needing Pip's love thing?
