I had no idea that Angry Orchard had a cider house and tasting room ‍ but what a really cool place. Production and orchard tours are also offered, there are food trucks on site, they have flights, glasses and bottles of new & different ciders available for purchase. You're able to sample test beers, which\was really fun! Lots of tables to chill and hang out. The also have games to keep you entertained, like corn hole and more. There's even some merch so you can take a souvenir home and make your friends jealous! If you're traveling in the area, I'd def recommend a stop!

When you first arrive, the property is very inviting and it's very spacious The music is on point and I'm talking about the live music that they offer there as well as the music playing within the brewery itself . I tried the full special of cider flight , priced very reasonable and the ciders were so refreshing. There is a small food truck on the premises, and I tried the hot honey/pepperoni, and I must say it's a great addition to the ciders . Sweet and savory. Everyone is very friendly at this establishment from the time you walk into the doors. It is great for large groups , couples, families, and solo venturing.

The property is decorated with twinkling fairy lights, an old truck, and a rustic barn that are good backdrops for a picture or two. The staff was incredibly nice and knows their products really well. They brought our group bottles of all the ciders and took the time to explain each one to us. The honey cider was the group favorite, but I personally preferred the one with beet in it. They told us it was a controversial flavor that people love or hate, and I understand why. It has such a unique, earthy flavor. Outside, there's some fun activities , including ping pong, a fire pit, and Cornhole. It's a great spot to relax with your friends, sip some refreshing local cider, and enjoy the outdoor view.

Situated on the outer edge of the Catskills, it feels like Andes is just being discovered by visitors. To wit, at the cidery, I heard a Brit (conversing in English) with two Slavic speakers, one of whom was responding solely in his native language. Over there, two youngish guys were discussing bodybuilding form, which led to one of them dropping to the gravel to demonstrate his one armed pushups. And that was just the crowd... I sampled two ciders; everything is available on tap, plus guest taps of craft beer. The first (Catskill, I think?) was semi-dry. I usually lean towards drier varietals, but this really hit the spot after a long tour through the Southern Tier. "Wild" is just what the name says: foraged apples, never twice the same flavor profile year to year. Absolutely outstanding, so a bottle came home with me. A local in line ahead of me said their kitchen was slow, so I didn't attempt food. Really nice location, old coal yard or some such, very vibey, and pleasantly situated in a cute little town. The servers were super nice and engaged, which is always a treat.

Using grapes shipped from CA and mixing with apples crown on site, this small batch operation is a delightful stop. Specifically, I want to shout out our wine guide who took us through several of their wines. She made our experience there memorable with her amazing personality, charm, and humor. The space is small but offers a variety of options to hang out and enjoy their wines and ciders - inside by the fireplace, outside on the screen porch, or outdoors on the patio. We loved our time at Hilltop and hope to return.

What a great concept to bring to this lovely but rather sleepy Catskills hamlet…read more Came the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend when staying nearby and had a great time. The owner seems very dedicated to having live music and supporting the arts so they had a band playing that actually sounded good! Lots of young families around enjoying the lawn games. Local ciders and beers were reasonably priced and tasty. I'm usually not the biggest fan of either but I ended up trying a peanut butter cider that turned out to be absolutely delicious. Not too sweet or tart and tasted actually quite natural. Ended up taking a growler home to share with friends. We weren't hungry so we didn't try the food but they had a chicken barbecue going and were selling cheese boards that looked pretty great. The bathroom situation is port-o-potties but to my surprise and delight they were actually clean and they offer a handwashing station outside. A++ recommend and would return.

Having Bluebird there cooking is a good idea though we didn't eat this time. My husband enjoyed the beer but I'm disappointed that you don't have lemonade or soda for those of us that don't drink beer. There are children that come with their parents and flavored seltzer really doesn't cut it. I bring my own lemon & mint water as I don't drink seltzer, a lemonade would've been nice. I think the tables could have been set up closer to the music. Great farm but lacking the ambience I feel. This is our second time there and I thought they vamped it up a little more, guess I was wrong
