The 10 Best Cider Spots In Wisconsin

The Malt House is first and foremost a beer snob’s heaven, but as is almost always the case with places that keep 15+ drafts and rotating brews, with that beer comes a great selection of cider. It’s the oldest bar in the city, which means that it’s got pretty much everything down perfectly. If you’re looking for cider, expect to find as good a list of local Wisconsin products as you will anywhere. If you know the world of cider like the back of your hand and are looking to push your boundaries a little, the Malt House also has some great sour beers and meads on hand as well.

You might come to Orchard Country for the products of the cider mill, but that’s not all you’ll find. It also has a winery where all sorts of fruit wine are made and a market that sells everything from specialty foods to locally made soaps. If you’d like a snack, try the local favorite Montmorency cherry tart. This is still a small, family run business, and you can trust that the utmost care goes into all of the beverages.

Captain’s Walk Winery made a name for itself offering wine in the most laid-back of atmospheres. It first made the jump into cider production in January 2015, and the result quickly became a favorite. Captain’s Walk takes great pride in the crisp quality of its cider and doesn’t bottle it, so you can have it as fresh as possible. You can either enjoy it at the winery or take it home in a half-gallon pack.

Maybe you want a great cider, but you don’t want to go all the way to the place where it’s made. In that case, head to Nomad World Pub in Milwaukee for the best kind of pub experience and an excellent selection of ciders along with that. Whether you want to watch an important game or you’re in the mood for some live music, Nomad World Pub is the perfect place to come and just enjoy the good mood that the atmosphere will give you.

Final Approach is another great Milwaukee pub with a menu that always keeps a number of ciders on hand. If you’d like to mix and match, you can always get a beer flight and try four at a time. It’s always a very welcoming place, and it likes to have a little fun with the food on the menu, so even if you’ve just come for a drink, you don’t have to leave hungry.
