Have you ever thought of opening up a cider house in your living room? If you have, these people actually made it a reality! Having read all the fab reviews of this place, and also having an affinity for all things cider (and perhaps alcoholic), I had to try it out for myself!
You walk in and it's a rustic feel, with dark wood everywhere. The 8 daily offerings advertised on a chalkboard are just asking to be sampled. They vary from bone dry to sweet and everywhere in between. The bone dry pear tasted a lot like champagne and the Concord Grape tasted like sparkling grape juice. I was a big fan of their popular Archibold's Amber, that they're now serving in around 8 local restaurants (Winghart's, Fat Heads, Kaya and a slew of others).
The real winner of the day was the off dry Alfred's Pear...in sorbet form! Alcoholic Cider Sorbet!!!! Can you tell how excited I am (let me include a couple more exclamation points)!!!! So good! We also ended up with a growler full of the Alfred's Pear for about $15 to enjoy at home.
The owners are INCREDIBLY friendly and informative on the different ciders they offer. They receive all their cider/apples from Soergel's in North Hills. I, for one, was very excited, being a big fan of Soergel's in general. I'm very happy to hear they're just growing and growing and hopefully will be around for a long time to enjoy a successful business and for me to enjoy their delicious cider!
