Fantastic ciders. If you're looking for the real deal, hard ciders made from nothing but interesting heirloom apple varieties, dry or bone dry, this is the place! Great selection, and plenty of space both inside and outside to enjoy great ciders.

The owner is amazing! Don’t feel afraid to sit at the bar and spark up a conversation. As you drink the variety drinks you’ll start to understand how passionate he really is in this business. Check out the flights! You can pick 4 different wines or ciders. Thanks Ray for a great experience we’ll be back!

This is the same place as Valor Wines, so don't feel like you need to find two places in the same plaza.
I was the DD, so I didn't do much sampling of the wares, but the vibes were great and my friends loved the wines and ciders they got. My friends and I particularly enjoyed talking with the owner and his friends. In fact, the owner very generously allowed my friends and I to hang out past closing time as we regaled him with tales from out of state and asserted the correctness of our questionable opinions.
Unpretentious atmosphere. Good people. Highly recommend. But you shouldn't hold the owner hostage past closing time like we did.

They have a solid list of single varietal ciders, and a bunch of really creatively made flavored ciders.

Amazing cider! Something for everyone. Traditional hard ciders are the best you'll ever have. Infused cider are amazing totally different than anywhere else. Food is light fair: snacks, cheese and crackers. If you want something more bring your own. Atmosphere is amazing super friendly staff. Great indoor and outdoor space. 10/10 recommend this place to everyone! This 8s my favorite place.

One of my absolute favorite places to get a some cider in CT! They always have a wide variety of new options that they make on site! This location is super cozy inside and is dog-friendly both inside and out! The outdoor patio is very lovely to hang out on in the warmer months and there always seems to be something going on here (i.e. events, food trucks, etc.) This is also the home of Valor Wines so you can get a wine or wine fusion drink as well if not everyone in your party is a super cider fan. A must try!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing "Apple Cider Theory," and it exceeded all my expectations. This brand masterfully blends tradition with innovation, delivering a cider that is both familiar and refreshingly unique.
From the first sip, the quality of the ingredients shines through. The apples used are clearly of the highest caliber, offering a crisp, natural sweetness balanced perfectly with a hint of tartness. Unlike many commercial ciders that can be overly sweet or artificially flavored, Apple Cider Theory maintains a delightful authenticity that speaks to their commitment to quality.
The aroma alone is captivating, with notes of fresh apples, subtle spices, and a hint of oak that promises a complex flavor profile. Upon tasting, it did not disappoint. The initial burst of apple is followed by layers of cinnamon and clove, making it a perfect choice for any season but especially delightful during the cooler months.
One of the standout aspects of Apple Cider Theory is its versatility. It can be enjoyed chilled on a hot summer day, warmed during a chilly autumn evening, or even mixed into a variety of cocktails for a creative twist. Each method of serving highlights different aspects of its nuanced flavor.
In terms of packaging, Apple Cider Theory also impresses. The design is sleek and modern while paying homage to the traditional roots of cider-making. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into every aspect of this product, from the orchard to the bottle.
Overall, Apple Cider Theory is more than just a beverage; it’s an experience. Whether you’re a long-time cider enthusiast or new to the world of apple cider, this brand offers something truly special. I highly recommend giving it a try—you won’t be disappointed.

The cidery is in the same location as valor wines.The owner was there and gave a great description of the wines and the ciders and is very passionate about both which was nice to see and hear.Great little spot to have a couple flights of cider over the weekend.All the ciders had a great flavor to them and the wines were also very tasty.We end up having two flights of cider and one flight of wine and left with three bottles of cider and one bottle of wine.2⭐ for food because they just had a couple packs of candied pecans which were very tasty, but I can't really call it a food option.4⭐ for atmosphere because there was only one other couple in there at that time of the day 3:00pm. Can't speak to the liveliness of it during peak times.Looks like a nice seating area outside for when the weather warms up also.

Best hard cider in CT! Traditional hard ciders and infused hard ciders (like honey infused, peach ect) dry and sweet. There's something for everyone.
