How to drink here
Flights
Four 5oz pours of anything on tap. The best way to find your cider if it's your first visit.
Pints & glasses
Twenty taps, poured by people who can tell you what's in each one. Rosé, cyser and the Cellar Series by the glass.
Slushies
Ciderita, frozen. The sweetest thing we make, and the only one with sugar in it.
Not drinking?
Prohibition is our carbonated apple cider with 0% ABV, in kid and adult sizes. Great for designated drivers.
To go
Four-packs, 19oz Stovepipe cans of the weekly release, Cellar Series bottles, growler fills. Or order ahead and pick up at the bar.
Groups
Walk-ins always. Parties of 10 or more, email us a day ahead and we'll hold a spot; 25+ books the stern as a private event.
What's pouring
Around 20 ciders on draft and a new small-batch release every Wednesday. The chalkboard is the final word, but the current lineup is here.
Food
We don't run a kitchen. Food trucks park out front most Thursdays through Saturdays from 4 PM, and you're welcome to bring food in. The week's trucks are posted on Instagram.
Every week
Trivia on Thursdays at 7, line dancing on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, an art market on 2nd Saturdays, comedy on 3rd Saturdays. The full calendar has the rest.
Good to know before you come
Do I need a reservation?
No. We're walk-in only, every day. Parties of 10 or more, email us a day ahead and we'll hold a spot. Groups of 25+ can book the stern as a private event.
Can I bring kids?
Yes. Kids are welcome; children under 12 need an adult with them at all times, nobody under 21 sits at the bar, and there's no running or climbing in the cellar. Prohibition, our 0% ABV sparkling apple cider, comes in kid sizes.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, inside and out. Two dogs per group, leashed and with you at all times, licensed and vaccinated. Please brush them before you come, and no wet dogs.
Is there food?
We don't run a kitchen, but food trucks park out front most Thursdays through Saturdays from 4 PM, and you're always welcome to bring your own food in or order delivery to the taproom. The week's trucks are posted on Instagram.
Where do I park, and can I take Metro?
Free parking in our lot and on the street. By Metro, Eisenhower Avenue (Yellow Line) is a 10-minute walk and King Street is about 15.
Is your cider gluten free? What about sugar?
Yes to both. Everything we make is gluten free and fermented fully dry, so there's no residual sugar. The one exception is the Ciderita slushie, which is the only thing we make with sugar in it.
What if I don't drink?
Prohibition is our carbonated apple cider at 0% ABV, in kid and adult sizes. Designated drivers are always welcome.
Can I take cider home?
Yes. Four-packs, 19oz cans of the weekly release, Cellar Series bottles and growler fills, all at the bar. Or order online and pick up during taproom hours. We also ship to 40+ states.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes, at the bar during taproom hours. Call ahead and we'll set one aside.
