As you walk up to Arsenal Cider House, you can just smell the goodness that is inside. There is a fruity smell in the air outside the building that draws you in and from there it just gets better. Expect to be greeted by one of the friendly owners who will gladly offer up any samples and explain anything and everything about what they do and their products. The decor harkens back to the Civil War era and in keeping with the theme, everyone is given a rank with their growler. After trying all the available options, I decided on the Honey Crisp Apple Cider. I'll admit, the first growler is a bit pricey. But going back for refills is cheaper once you have the bottle.
We were warned to be careful as the ciders are all high in alcohol content compared to most beers. Finishing a growler in one night could result in waking up on the floor the next morning so it is important that you drink responsibly. Or better yet, share with friends!
I enjoyed experiencing all of the available products and plan to return for refills. I was told that the cider will keep for up to a month if left unopened....but who are we kidding?
