Cool place. Decent mead. But.... I prefer other options.

Seasonal meads and ciders but also year round ciders as well a good 15-20 flavors. Wanted to stop in last time I came to town but was never able to make it so I'm glad I did this go round

We had an awesome time at Noble Cider! My husband and I shared a cider flight, including the Village Tart Cherry, Golden Arrow Ginger, Blackberry Peach Crumble and the Kiwi Guava Ghost. All were great, enjoyable to drink with complex flavor profiles (and much better than Bold Rock's cider down the street). Surprisingly our favorite was the Kiwi Guava Ghost! It was so unique with the tropical kiwi flavor and just the right amount of heat! The bartender was friendly and cool. We had an interesting and informative chat with her about home brewing cider and beer. She offered helpful advice for us since we're interested in trying our hands at home brewing our own cider.

My wife and I stopped by to try some of the cider on a whim.I'm not a regular cider drinker but I enjoy it on occasion. While the cider flight we sampled was crisp and cold the flavor differences between them all were very subtle. We made sure to try vastly different kinds but they all tasted pretty much the same.The service was great and the barkeep was friendly and helpful. The tap room was clean and inviting. However for us it just wasn't a hit on the day we visited. We will try again another time to give them a fair chance.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Noble Cider & Mead, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped foot into the establishment, I was greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff, setting the tone for what turned out to be a delightful visit.Let's start with the main attraction—the cider offerings. Noble Cider & Mead truly excels in this department. Their cider selection was not only extensive but also of outstanding quality. I opted for a flight of ciders, and I was blown away by the incredible flavors and craftsmanship that went into each one. From crisp and refreshing to rich and complex, the ciders I sampled were nothing short of extraordinary. It was evident that the team at Noble Cider & Mead takes great pride in their craft and strives for excellence.The atmosphere of the establishment was equally impressive. The space was clean, well-maintained, and had a welcoming ambiance. It provided a comfortable setting to enjoy the ciders and engage in conversation. Whether you're visiting with friends, family, or even alone, Noble Cider & Mead offers an inviting environment that makes you want to stay and savor every moment.Furthermore, the staff at Noble Cider & Mead played a significant role in making my visit memorable.

It was clear that they genuinely cared about ensuring their patrons had an exceptional experience.In conclusion, my visit to Noble Cider & Mead was a true pleasure. The cider offerings were not only delicious but also showcased the skill and dedication of the cider makers. The staff was warm and attentive, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere.

So Asheville is known for its breweries, but for those of us who HATE beer there is Noble!!!! Thank you! Fran was amazing and so helpful. I tried a flight of ciders and a flight of mead. Win win for us non-beer drinkers. You'll want 1 of everything. Come here! You will NOT regret it!!

If you are looking for an alternative to beer in Asheville this is a great spot to try. The bartender gave suggestions and I got a flight with the apple pie cider, the village tart cider, the bluesberry limeade cider, and the pineapple upside down cake mead. Of the four, my favorite was probably the bluesberry limeade. I thought the pineapple one would be sweeter but it was still pretty good. I also appreciated they had plenty of nonalcoholic options. Very conveniently located but still out of the way enough that the street outside didn’t feel chaotic. I’ll be back to try the other flavors!

Great open air and peaceful! They have board games. Ciders for everyone...even meads! I think you can bring in food (we had kid snack).

After walking around downtown Asheville, it was time to sit and relax before going back to Black Mountain. Noble Cider was the perfect spot across from the public parking deck. We enjoyed a flight of ciders and a “small bite” of carrot hummus and crackers in a bright open immaculate place with soft jazz playing. Perfect. Definitely a stop next time we’re near Asheville.
All kinds of cider for sure. Good service. Wish they had at least a couple of choices of the common name brand domestic beers for those of us who are not as cool. Lol. They had a comedy show here and it was really funny. Had a good time overall.

Great cider selection. The watermelon mint cider was very tasty. The pineapple cider was not as sweet as I expected which was what I was hoping for. The hand crafted appetizers from the wild mushroom confit to the pimento cheese was excellent. They have six packs that you can take with you.Don't miss out on a unique establishment.Look forward to visiting again when in town.

Nice little spot. Ciders are light in flavor. No back sweeteners in them! We enjoyed them!

I found this place since rock had no seating left. Really good ciders that are not super sour or super sweet. great space in downtown. Will return in the future

Was in downtown coming from Crave Dessert bar and this was only a 2 minute walk! Great atmosphere and decor. Bartender was attentive and friendly and gave us great suggestions. There’s plenty of room to sit with friends play games and sip of your choice of cider or mead. Pet and kid friendly. Outside patio is small but nice in the summer. Good to go options available and also growlers with tasty bites if you get hungry. Group favorites include the Spice Merchant which was very flavorful with a full body profile not too sweet just right and the orange blossom mead which was just perfect. Cheers!
