Raging Cider & Mead Co

Best cider in all of Southern California. If you are into locally sourced natural ingredients, everything here is made with ingredients sourced in San Diego County, and the fermentation is all naturally occurring with the yeasts that exist on the skins of the fruit that's pressed. It is the most true to form, naturally created, alcohol that you can get. When you visit, you can see where it's all created and get to meet the people responsible for making it.

All of the ciders are made with time and patience. You can show up and have a drink that's been barrel aged for 5+ years every time. Since it's all natural beverages, the drinks that you have will never be identical twice. It is really a wonderful experience of old-world alcohol creations.

The long pour Spanish Sidra is a fun experience to have when you visit. They also have meads made with whole fruits that are locally sourced and other unique beverage like the Pommeau. There are tons of bottled offerings to bring to go as well.

It's a wonderful place to bring a group of people. It's a small venue, but there is plenty of seating between the tasting room and outdoor patio. It can get a bit chilly, so bring a jacket when it cooler out. The ambiance is wonderful and welcoming, just like the owner, staff, and usual patrons.

There is tons of parking. You can bring food or have food delivered while you hang out. There is tons of parking on the street and in the parking lot. Don't miss out on one of the most unique and locally sourced small business and beverage creation artists in San Diego.

The mead they have served is outstanding, I've been to other breweries that served mead before but not like this, I highly recommended the ODE, it has the perfect sweetness and taste quite natural, there is no doubt that I would come back again.

My favorite mead I’ve ever had hands down. All of them are great!

The ciders are dry and refreshing! Everything is locally sourced! From their apples to their honey for their meads. The meads range from sweet to dry and they have plenty of selection. Be sure to follow them on instagram because they are involved in a lot of local events! Their club membership is a great deal as well.

This place is wonderful the owner that makes his own cider really has passion for what he does. It's a lot better than beer and better and wine in my opinion and he has so many different flavors. I had a lot of fun and this bar and you should too!

Great Cider and Mead place right In san marcos

Great place to have locally sourced cider and mead.

Great selection of mead and cider. They also have a small shop with unique limited edition flavors with locally grown fruit. And locally made hot sauce to buy too!

Recently visited Raging Cider & Mead and had an amazing flight of ciders. The taproom is not big, but they have indoor and outdoor seating. I sat at the bar, which allowed conversations with the bartender who was very friendly and taught me about ciders since I'm a novice. Definitely Raging Cider & Mead is a hidden gem!
