I got on the phone and Ponderosa cider was so nice and helpful. Gave me a few pointers to come in from the other side. We made it easily. Parking is very limited. Again Ponderosa staff friendly and helpful in letting us know the space we squeezed into would be OK to park in. Dog friendly a bonus for us. I got a nice flight. I love a sampler pack. My favorite ciders were the "Goldilocks" and the "Peach Ginger." I got some of those to take home for my daughter to try. The "Trouble Maker" had a great flavor, but it's not carbonated. It was kind of like a flavored water. They had a few drink choices for designated driver. Biscuits for the dogs. Halloween candy for those who like a treat. . Nice date night for the hubs and me.

Their flavors arent written on the blackboard, but on the cans next to the ordering windows. My friends and I each got a pint for $7 and we chose the tangerine, pomegranate, semi-sweet, and Heirloom Estate Dry ciders. Personally, I enjoyed the tangerine cider, but my friends liked the pomegranate flavor! Service was quick and easy since we just ordered 4 pints and grabbed a seat to enjoy the fall foliage. They have some outdoor port-a-potties as well as a clean indoor bathroom behind the ordering area. Parking was easy from the main road. Overall, a really fun time and one of my fave Apple Hill stops!

Added bonus: They're family and pet friendly. They offer free doggy treats for those of you who visit with your fore legged fur babies. The doggy treats are in a labeled jar on the counter and there are a couple of pup watering stations that I also noticed, one outside and one inside the tasting room. Inside the tasting room are a couple of enormous flat screens with NFL games turned low with subtitles on, which is nice so you can chit chat with friends w/o yelling. The vibe is chill and I'll definitely return in the future.

A couple were a bit smokey, which we liked (especially the mango one)! My wife and I split a flight of four 5-ounce pours, which enabled us to try a brand range of types. - Comfortable, relaxed vibe with a great playlist. A bunch of different seating areas, including at the bar, provided lots of options. - The person working the bar was chatty, which we like, since it gives us a chance to learn more about the brewery, etc. Bottom line: We're glad that we found Donner Creek Brewing and will definitely be back!

It's what definitely keeps my interest going. For ACE I had their Joker dry cider. What makes up this cider is double fermented apple juice made with champagne yeast.

YEAH, I SAID IT! Service is great; the staff are friendly, they come by to pick up glasses, and pour well. We walked in and waited to be served and ended our tab with one flight and 2 pints. Sampling is done with small cups and they give about an ounce or more for you to taste. We sat outside and it's a pretty chill and lax environment. They have a photobooth inside. There's seating inside and outside. It's not a super loud or rowdy place (I went Saturday evening). The ciders themselves all reminded me of a dry white wine, but better. No sulphur headache or hangover the next day. The Jalepeno Carrot stood out to me amongst the list of mostly fruity ciders. It's like a spicy marg but not sweet. They rotate weekly so it's likely the next time you visit, there will be new flavors to try out! I would definitely come back here again. Can't speak to parking as we took a Lyft here but our Lyft driver did say she picks up people from Nitty's all the time.

For a Saturday, the place wasn't packed at all, which made for a nice, chill experience. The bartender was great! She took the time to explain the different ciders to us and gave us some really good recommendations. We decided to take our flights outside since the weather was nice and warm, and it was the perfect setting to sit back, relax, and try something new. Some of the ciders were definitely hit or miss for me, but that's part of the fun of getting a flight, you get to try different flavors and figure out what you actually like. Overall, I had a fun time tasting all the different ciders. The only setback was that I wish they served food because having something to eat with the cider would've made the experience even better. Funny enough, right as we were leaving, a food truck showed up, so apparently we were just a little too early . I also noticed someone outside eating their own food, so next time we might bring a sandwich or something to enjoy with our drinks. Overall, we had a really good time. Good cider, great service, nice weather, and another fun experience with my girl. I would definitely come back and try another flight!
