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.

Fortunately, we remembered passing a sign for Indigeny Reserve and saw on the map that it was within walking distance. Since it was already after 3pm and they closed at 5pm, we decided to drive over and make the most of our afternoon before they closed. When we walked in, the building was empty, but we were eager to try a cider tasting. Browsing the shop, we found a variety of merchandise--shirts, hats, sweaters, and an assortment of cheeses, crackers, chips, and other tasty treats. Eventually, a friendly staff member greeted us and offered the $10 tasting. Since closing time was approaching, she joked about giving us paper cups to avoid running the dishwasher. We didn't mind, but she kindly served the cider in glasses, which made the experience nicer. She also offered a whiskey tasting in a cool room lined with barrels and tables, plus gift boxes and other products. The whiskey tasting was just $2, with three varieties to sample. I'm not much of a whiskey fan, but I appreciated that she wasn't rushing us out. Both of us loved the Blackberry cider, so we each ordered a glass to enjoy outside. The outdoor area is expansive, with wooden benches, tables, and lawn chairs scattered across a grassy lawn overlooking a large vineyard. Only a few couples and families lingered--likely because of the early closing time. After relaxing with our ciders, we wandered down the trail to the lake. Along the way, we discovered old barns, a whimsical gnome area, and several upside-down boats tied up near the shore. If the boats hadn't been secured, we joked about taking one out for a row on the lake! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Indigeny Reserve and, in retrospect, wished we had brought the teens along. Still, it made for a wonderful little date.

Honestly, fitness is a scam and I support it. It was St. Patty's Day, and since our original spot needed to close early, my friend hit me with, "Want to take this down the street?" and I was like... duh. Say less. So we walked over to Nitty's Cider and let me just say--what a surprise in the best way. From the outside, you'd never fully guess how cool this place actually is. But the second you step in? Boom. Whole vibe. Games, great energy, super fun local atmosphere... the kind of place that makes you instantly relax and think, "Yep, this was the right move." And let's talk about the service because that part really stood out. We walked in looking exactly like two people who had just completed a run--aka one of us looked casually athletic and the other looked like cardio had taken a personal shot at them. I'll let you guess which one I was. Meanwhile, my friend somehow looked effortless, like she had just stepped out of a commercial for activewear and good decisions. But the staff? Super friendly, welcoming, and cool right away. No weirdness, no awkward "you clearly just exercised" energy... just genuine hospitality that made it easy to settle in and enjoy ourselves. That's always a win. The cider hit, the vibe hit, and the whole place just felt like one of those hidden little gems you're happy someone put you onto. This is definitely one of those spots where you can walk in casually, hang out, laugh, play a few games, and lose track of time in the best way. In all, Nitty's is way cooler than it looks from the outside--and that's saying something. So next time you're nearby, stop in, grab a drink, and catch the energy for yourself. Because this place? Yeah... it's got something.

We decided to have sweets before lunch and ordered their strawberry ice cream sandwich and strawberry pie! The strawberry ice cream and donut combo was delicious!! We would order it again in a heartbeat! The strawberry pie tasted like it was just strawberry jam as the filling and we didn't really like it much. Their burgers were so delicious and the sauce they offered were so good!! They had a chipotle and BBQ sauce that was so good that we regretted not asking if they sold it there to bring home with us!

We heartily agree with Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, U.S. Air Force Veteran that, "Good people drink good beer." So, we all stepped in for a brew. Since most brews are seasonal, we asked what was available, tried a beer apiece and found each was aromatic and mouth-watering and nose-tickling. We noticed others playing a board game who pointed out to us where we could get one, so we played while we drank. Dog-friendly. Disabled-friendly. Has non-alcoholic options. The customer service was adequate. No automatic gratuity was demanded for our attendance here. The bill matched their posted prices. (It's an illegal Deceptive Trade Practice when the bill doesn't match posted prices) No one at this business took my picture without my permission or publicly posted it without my permission. No one at this business offered to commit fraud to reward me or pay me or compensate me for posting 5-star reviews of this business.

Local Beer Works has taken the pledge To Leave No Veteran Behind with a Veterans / Military Discount and accommodating to we disabled Veterans for our Special-Needs due to our military Service-connected disabled disabilities. A Veterans Discount is particularly important to Disabled Veterans unable to be employed as they are on a very small and fixed income for life. A Veterans Discount provides a resource to ensure Active Duty and Veterans the opportunity to participate in the American Dream their sacrifices have made possible. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. --Mother Teresa. We left happier than we arrived. I'll be back. For my Customer Rule is: Always visit again a business that has treated you okay AND supports Veterans and Active Duty with a publicly disclosed daily Military and Veterans Discount. I rate 'em 3 stars. According to Yelp ratings' definitions, that's "Ok". "Ok" to me is an acceptable rating of a business that does day in and day out what it is there to do. It's NOT a negative review because doing day in and day out what a business is there to do is NOT easy to do. I added a 4th review star for their having a Military / Veterans Discount as none more cherished in a disabled Veteran's life than those who lighten the burdens from our military Service. Their adherence to laws, that they are dog-friendly and their consideration for disabled people earned 'em the 5th review star because, "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." -- Eeyore P.S.
