Wonderful place with an ever expanding list of renowned Ciders. Set in a refurbished brick home with a great outside space this is a great location to do a small Cider tasting and listen to live music on the back patio area. They normally have a new food truck on rotation so I would reccomend checking out their Facebook and seeing who they have coming through. You cant go wrong with a "Bite of Maine" or "Flame and Pie" which are local favorites.
