Bryant's Cider & Brewery

During a weekend getaway at Roseland, my friends and I had the pleasure of trying out several cideries & breweries. This one was the closest to the Airbnb, and honestly, it had some of the BEST drinks! Their cider flavors are unique, and there are A LOT of them! Not to mention, the owner was very friendly! The outdoor area was vast and beautiful. I will definitely visit again when back in the area. Get a flight and try as many flavors as you can!

Loved everything about Bryant’s! Tucked on Nelson’s 151 Route, their ciders and beer were both great. Dry cider with lots of variety. Beautiful grounds, featuring a historic Virginia Century Farm. Lots of space to hang out and relax! And very friendly service :)

Visiting from Georgia, we will be back. Phenomenal Service from Amber. She went above and beyond to cater to us. They offer board games, blankets, warm fires, and so much more. The atmosphere is spectacular, really embodies local farm brewed beer. Food options are a little limited, but you are there to drink.
Beer options are predominantly semi-dry to dry which was not bad thing. Flavors are prominent and lip smacking.

*Beer & Food menu are seasonally changing so don't rely on menus*

A wonderful farm experience. It has a very chill vibe and of course, the ciders were great! We enjoyed trying the different brews and I liked that there were other farm-made items for purchase.

Beautiful scenic location. Secluded mountain views and a beautiful historic farm and barn. A wide variety of delicious ciders. Super friendly service

Not sure how often they have a BBQ vendor set up outside, but it was the best BBQ of my life. Great service and friendly staff! Happy to support this lovely small business.

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.

This is a few miles past Devil’s Backbone and it was the prettiest part of our drive. Service was friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed our drinks in outside area with plenty of seating. And who doesn’t love a cool old barn tasting room?! We left with cider, fresh apple butter and apple butter BBQ sauce.

If you’re a Bold Rock fan this might not be for you! Definitely on the drier side
