A GF sent me a TikTok reel of the Brewery since she has celiac & I have a GF intolerance. My husband & I enjoyed both of our flights we got. As seen in the picture provided I did a cider flight as well as my husband. Then my husband decided to try the meads and did a flight of those. I ended up just getting a 4 Oz of another cider. The staff were super helpful with recommendations & they were super friendly! We enjoyed the environment of the Brewery as well! Will definitely have to take a trip back again soon!

Wow. This place is incredible. Looks like a typical NJ brewery both inside and out (located in an…read moreindustrial park with the usual exposed beam ceiling and concrete floors inside) but plot twist: they only brew ciders and meads. No beer. But the ciders and meads are phenomenal. My girlfriend and I stopped in yesterday on a Saturday afternoon, which was our first time there. We each tried a cider flight and a mead flight and loved everything. Definite standouts for me were the Mother Muse and Tulsi (both had a nice mix of sweet fruit taste with a hint of herbs like rosemary and basil) and the Ayamarcay with its decadent peanut/chocolate flavor. The story of how this place came to be is just as incredible. Founding member Christian Annese was misdiagnosed many years ago with Celiac, which led him to the world of ciders and meads. At the time, NJ laws made it incredibly difficult to brew quality cider, and mead was effectively illegal. So Christian and his partners worked tirelessly with NJ legislators to change the law, and in 2020 Armageddon opened for business. Highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be back!

Iron Bound is consistently a good experience. Over the years this farm has evolved into a culinary…read moredestination with ingredients as local as it gets. The meats on the menu are from the farm! The uniqueness of the cider is the highlight of the meal that is already exceptional. It's also a place you can feel good about supporting. The mission of Iron Bound since its founding has been to be good stewards of the land and good humans all around. The energy here is as immaculate as the food. If you are coming from a distance pack a cooler with ice to take home the home grown meats. The breakfast sausage is our favorite!

Their garden outside was done up with amazing seasonal florals and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered a cider flight followed by a Pina colada wine drink and liked both. They had a Mexican food truck onsite that we also greatly enjoyed. They had self serve water stations both inside and out.The only reason this is not a 5 star review is because service was lacking.We received rather rude service from one of the bartenders when ordering drinks and found it challenging to determine what to do with our empty glasses, as no one was coming around to service tables and there was no drop bin either inside or out. Overall, a cute spot that I would return to for good cider.

When we went, there was a pizza food truck which made fresh woodfire pizza which tasted great!

Burnt Mills is one of my absolute favorite places to visit. It's a lot less commercial than some of…read morethe wineries/cideries throughout NJ/NY. I have tried almost all of their ciders and love tasting all the seasonal varieties on tap. Some of my favorites include the General George, Cider Donut, and Strawberry Lemonade. There's a bar inside and during peak months, a second bar is opened right outside the tasting room. There are two indoor bathrooms and a few porta-potties outside in the parking lot. They do not offer food on-site except for food trucks which are usually parked outside the tap room on weekends. You are allowed to bring your own food and I have even seen people set up for parties with a whole spread of snacks and treats. There is limited seating both inside and outside, so I strongly advise bringing lawn chairs. There's some picnic seating spread throughout the lawn, but it fills up quickly on a nice day. I love that they allow dogs as many of the wineries in the area do not. There's a bunch of lawn games available for kids and adults alike. They offer some 4 packs of cans and refillable growlers to take home. You can also find some of their ciders in local liquor stores. The parking lot fills up very quickly. The lot is a mix of dirt/gravel and can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Overall, a great day trip for families looking to relax outside on a nice day!

Burnt Mills Cider, located on US Route 206 in Bedminster in a beautifully restored farm building,…read moreoffers innovative house-made "flavor-forward" ciders made from locally-sourced apples, a cozy but comfortable indoor tasting room with oak paneling and wood furniture crafted from the trees cleared on-site during construction, and a family-friendly and dog-friendly outdoor space with picnic tables, fire pits, and cornhole games. Burnt Mills offers a range of sweet and dry fruit-forward ciders in 4 oz., 8 oz., and 16 oz. servings with 12 options on tap, including seasonal specialties available only for a limited time. Thankfully, you can sample several of them at a time by ordering a flight of four 4 oz. servings. On my most recent visit, I really enjoyed the General George (5.5% ABV), a balanced cider featuring tart black cherry rounded out by vanilla that's smooth and dangerously easy to drink, and the Friendsgiving 2025 (5.5% ABV), a holiday in a glass that is a complex blend of cranberries, orange peel, rosemary, honey, and cinnamon. YUM! I'm definitely excited to go back and try the other varieties on-tap, then grab a growler or cans to go. PRO TIP #1: Drive slowly in the parking lot. There's a large dip midway up the driveway from US Route 206 that could bottom out your vehicle. PRO TIP #2: Pack a picnic basket. While recent changes to New Jersey's previously draconian liquor laws have eased many restrictions on microbreweries and cideries, they still can't have full-service kitchens. Burnt Mills often hosts food trucks on the weekends (check their calendar!), but you'll want to pack your own snacks if you visit during the week. You can also bring your own food or order from local Bedminster/Far Hills restaurants via a delivery app!

Highly recommend for any locals and travelers and we can't wait to go back to our new favorite winery. Cute place inside too, only thing that would have made the ambience better would have been an electric fireplace to cozy it up. Otherwise, this winery beats Chaddsford 100%, sorry not sorry.
