Arsenal Cider House is truly one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. Born and raised here, I'm not Pittsburgh's biggest fan by far...but Arsenal makes it all worthwhile!
Any time we have friends come in from out of town, a stop here is an absolute necessity and they always come back for more.
Bill and Michelle are awesome! Michelle always remembers me and they are both very friendly and love to talk about their craft and the neighborhood.
If you turn your nose up to the word 'cider' - you are clearly missing the boat. This isn't plain old hard apple cider. This is creative. This takes a real love of what you are doing. Some of my favorites include the concord grape (sweet), honey vanilla (sweet), and Fighting Elleck apple (sweet). They also have dry choices too and new flavors coming out all the time.
The sorbet is also a must-try. I swear, if Arsenal served food, I'd never leave.
