Review:

Asheville is best known for its craft beer, but Urban Orchard Cider Co. is planning to change that. The first craft cider tasting room and production company in North Carolina, Urban Orchard is a family-owned production company and tasting room in West Asheville where visitors can taste up to six kinds of apple cider every day.

Spacious and relaxed, it is one of very few true cider bars in the country. It is a great place to learn more about hard cider, such as the fact that cider styles can be traditional Sweet English and Dry Ridge, or try inventive, quirky mixes with berries, hops, vanilla, and even jalapeno peppers. Since Asheville is close to one of the country’s biggest apple growing regions, Urban Orchard makes its ciders exclusively from local apples. The family that owns and runs the company planted 55 apple trees on their property, but they will have to wait some time to make cider from their own apples.
