A sweet little secret tucked into a back corner of the neighborhood where I grew up and where my…read moremom still lives. I walked here from her house! I wouldn't exactly say that I am a cider connoisseur but I know what I like and what I don't like. I live in New York City which is a cider hub and I lived in Michigan and Chicago, where ciders are also popular. Not so much in Ohio so it was a joy to find this gem. To my surprise, the sun tea is my absolute favorite. I don't generally like black teas, which is the base for this one so at first I didn't try it until James the owner and cider maker described it to me. I was sold. I love it! I tend to like drier ciders. So if you're like me, try the mojito. But even the fruity ciders are not extra sweet like the ones you buy off the shelves. Even better, you can actually taste the fruit! Looking forward to coming back soon!

A quick scenic drive along the water and I found myself parked outside of the bottle shop and tasting room! I was on limited time and wasn't able to do the tour. Next time maybe?! The staff was great from the sous chef I flagged down to the gal serving up samples in the bottle shop and tasting room. After trying a few things I decided on bottle of maple finish and one of the uncut unfiltered. Pretty good stuff! Along witht the bottles I had to pick up a Watershed glencairn for $12 too... I wish I'd had more time to spend and could look around the facility a little more there at the distillery! Watershed was a lot better ambiance and company than Giant Eagle and Kroger where I was limited to in the rest of my OH bourbon hunting... Lol

I live near the Mad Moon Taproom but wasn't aware of its existence. It is tucked away in the back…read moreof an industrial complex. Parking was not an issue on my visit. The Taproom is typically only open on Saturday evenings but I attended a private event on a Sunday afternoon. The interior has some seating alongside the many different brewing tanks. I started my visit with a flight, which included 4 tasters. I am not a huge cider fan, but the ciders I tried were all pretty good. They were not overly sweet. I really enjoyed the pineapple cider (Pineapple #10). Hella Good Blueberry Pomegranate was also good. I also got a full sized glass of the Hunky Dory Apple Pie. This drink had a strong hint of cinnamon along with apple. Mad Moon is worth a visit if you enjoy ciders. Their Facebook page advises when they have food trucks and other events.

This is a pretty neat little spot! Mad Moon Cider has been around for several years now but I think…read morethe tap room is a newer place. I randomly found it on yelp and being a new cider fan had to come check it out. So on a rainy Saturday, my bf and I decided to finally check it out! It's defiantly a little confusing to find. Nor is it in the best part of town. Google maps doesn't seem to be aware of the actual road they are on, as it only took us to the Cleveland Ave and didn't actually guide us the rest of the way. I've included the map from their website that shows how to locate them. There is a large green Mad Moon banner on the corner Cleveland Ave and Britains Lane- turn there. Then continue to follow the green signs as you wind your way through what looks like a storage unit complex but I think is actual businesses. It can be a bit sketchy but I promise it's worth it. I've had a couple of their ciders on tap at local bars/restaurants but didn't make the connection until we were there. BrewDog, Pins, Pies and Pints all has their ciders along with several others. You can find a full list on their website of where you can buy their ciders, in bottles or on tap. We started off with a flight- 4 ciders for $10. They are decent sized pours, too. Since their menu isn't huge, we opted to go this route to try multiple ciders (there are 7 total). I still wasn't totally sure which one I wanted to order a glass of and they let me sample a couple others on the menu to decide. I ended up ordering the Tangerine Dream and my bf had the Eat a Peach. They were all good though! While the tap room is fairly small, they have more tables in another room next to the bar area. In here they had a TV and several games for use so we decided to play Yahtzee and Candy Land while we enjoyed our ciders. I love when places have games available as we rarely play them at home and it gives us something fun to do while enjoying our drinks. Definitely worth the trip to check this place out! I was surprised how many people were there/stopped in while we were there considering it's not the easiest place to find and I don't think the tap room's existence is all that well known. So that was great to see. Always great to check out and support local!

This is a smaller distillery. When you walk in you will be greeted by the owner. He is also an artist/musician and his labels reflect that aspect of his personality, wonderfully creative. He uses this space for multiple things: a distillery, art studio, art gallery, and jam session room. You will see a drum set and a few guitars. Art collaborations hang on his wall- It's pretty cool. His distilled products and merchandise occupy the front corner by the entrance you will be offered samples of anything you may be interested in trying. However, it's more a grab and go type of distillery "shop". A huge plus is not only are the items delicious, the price point is quite reasonable ...yesterday we purchased a new type... a vodka he called Bloody Mary Vodka.... Made specifically to enhance bloody Mary's. Wow, is it good and only $20! The products and experience while tasting are all five star, but due to the fact there is no traditional bar to hang out at like the other distilleries on the distillery trail .... Deducted a star.
