Cideries in Contoocook, NH

“I hate hard ciders.

Seriously. My wife loves cider (look, we can't get into it, no one has time for that)...she has tried for years to get me to try every hard cider in the world. I have hated literally all of them. ALL. OF. THEM. 😳

We moved to Hopkinton last summer and went to try the cider at Contoocook Cider Company and...damn...I liked it. Not only liked it but really truly loved their cider.

Maybe that was a fluke? Turns out, it wasn't a fluke. Nope. Every time we go it reaffirms how much I really love it.

So my tastebuds changed and I love other ciders now? Yeah, that's what happened. Totally. Hashtag sarcasm...am I right? *crickets* ...except that my tastebuds did't change. I tried other ciders, from other brewers, and still cannot stand them. Insert frowny face from my wife.

All of these words and I haven't even mentioned the pizzas. All I'll say is that if you love garlic then the garlic pizza is your happy place. #happyplace #garliclovers

Come for the amazing cider (you will thank yourself...and maybe me). Stay for the incredible pizza. Hangout for the ridiculous views of Mount Kearsage.“
