“Cider’s been a new thing for my better half and me since moving to Central VA. We’ve driven by Bryant’s a host of times. On Saturday, I made a solo journey out because my honey had a book club gathering. Glad I did.There was music, but best of all, I got to try my first dry Virginia cider. It’s way less sweet than some of the “bigger” cideries in the area. But dry doesn’t mean, less viable. In fact, I really dug the dryness, plus there were a couple of sweeter varieties. The Apple Pie was enjoyable with about half the sugar of the sweet ciders that many seem to like. I do not.I enjoyed their Dark Unicorn, which is bourbon barrel-aged and really enjoyable. Oh, the Punkin Spice was a nice fall variety.The rustic barn setting of the tasting room makes for a more comfortable setting when the weather’s cold and outside just won’t work.Great staff that makes you feel welcome on your first visit.Will definitely be back.“
