Connecticut’s New Hard Cider Renaissance
Tasting cider can have a lot in common with tasting wine—some are dry, others sweet, with fruit or botanical notes. And like craft IPAs, hand-crafted hard ciders can have a character and uniqueness all their own. From start-up craft cideries to longtime Connecticut farms and orchards branching out into the business, here are few must-visit cider destinations in Connecticut.
