    SOMERDALE: Armageddon Brewing LLC is not the end of the world, but your path to salvation through mead and cider! Armageddon Brewing is a meadery and cidery crafting gluten free and flavorful hard beverages. The selection is fantastic and made with fresh juices, spices, and honey! The flight we had was so good and we especially loved the "Cataclysm" cider made with cranberries, orange peel, and cinnamon! All the spirit names have interesting stories behind them. The indoor tasting room is dog friendly and designed with a cool balance between industrial with white cement walls and a grey cement floor to warm wood paneling behind the bar, beautiful wooden tables, and seasonal touches. We were happy to see the South Jersey legend @pint_size_leah behind the bar pouring drinks, talking about the products, and giving love to all the doggie patrons. She is a craft connoisseur! Look out for other events like trivia night, Mortal Kombat Monday, seasonal parties, game nights, and more! Located on Chestnut Ave with a speakeasy-esque entrance.

    Stopped in after work one day last week with my boyfriend. I liked it! I liked that they make ciders and meads. What a nice change of pace from a beer brewery! Industrial feel inside. Cement floors, large and heavy wooden tables and benches. We joked that the benches would definitely hold our weight because so many breweries have almost flimsy tables and benches. I ordered a flight of ciders and my boyfriend got a flight of mead. I liked trying more then one cider! We are looking forward to going back and trying some new flavors!!

    The Mead was great. The place is clean and the seats are comfortable. I had a flight and decided on the Coffee Mead as the best one.

    I'd been wanting to visit since it opened but time just went by. Now I'm regretting not going sooner. The space is clean and inviting. (Although you would never guess from the outside!). The ciders and meads were really good. I did a flight of each (and maybe more heh heh). Can't wait to go back!

    Great cider and mead distillery. Nice selection of flavorful ciders and meads and good seasonal blends. The place is a nice size inside and outside, located in industrial area. Awesome knowledgeable staff.

    I am a huge hard cider person and this place did not disappoint. It really is off the beaten path but worth the stop. My boyfriend and I came here around 2:30 PM on a Saturday. They are open between 2-8 PM and are dog friendly! The menu was a bit limited so you were able to double up on flights. We both got full 10 oz pours of Desolation & Ida's Heart. With tax it came out to $16 total. The staff was very helpful, informative, and friendly if you were having trouble picking out what to drink. Desolation really reminded me of the taste of mead and gave you a wintery feel. This is a limited seasonal item so get it while you can. Meanwhile, ida's heart reminded me of a sweet wine. If I find these inside a local liquor store I will definitely purchase some. Will be returning again when there are new seasonal flavors.

    This is the first time I've ever been to a cidery or meadery before so I wasn't too sure what to expect. I'm not a huge fan of mead so I did not try any, however, I went in not knowing whether or not I'd even enjoy cider. The room was a decent size and it wasn't too bright which I like. It was pretty crowded (a good thing) so we took the table farthest away from the bar. They had these beautiful homemade display pieces for their shirts and glasses hanging on the walls made from old pallets that looked cut and stained with an added shelf at the bottom (I may need to steal that idea). Before arriving I had my mind set on a flight so I could try numerous different ciders. As I said above, I've never been to a cidery and have never had cider so my goal was to try as many as I could. There were 3 meads available and about 7-8 different ciders (1 of which wasn't available in flights). The bartenders were nice and were definitely helpful when it came to questions and suggestions. The flight ran $12 for 4 4oz pours. I chose Exile, Hopped Massacre, Ozuno, and Ida's Heart (in order from left to right in the picture I posted). All 4 ciders looked completely different, and the flight itself looked beautiful due to the bright and varying colors. I was shocked at how great each one tasted. They were light, crisp, and refreshing. My favorite one by far was Hopped Massacre which i could see myself drinking outside on a warm summer day. It's a blood orange cider hopped with citra hops. Ida's Heart was also delicious which had hints of raspberry flavor. I never tried ciders before because I never expected I'd enjoy them. Boy was I wrong. I 100% expect to be back to Armageddon. There are two things that made my review 4 stars instead of 5: 1) the selection seemed a little limited. 3 meads and maybe 7-8 ciders. One wasn't available in flights and 2-3 were the same as the others just made slightly different. 2) The prices seemed a little high. Maybe these are typical prices for cider and mead? $12 for a flight of cider. $10-$12 for a glass of mead. I believe it was $35 for a bottle of mead. These factors would not impact my decision on whether I'd come back or not, I definitely am planning on it and I really enjoyed my first experience.

    New Cidery/Meadery in South Jersey! It's been in the works for a few years and they've officially opened on January 31st! Finding the place was a little hard! It's located near Flying Fish Brewery... walking distance from it. But what made it hard to find was that there was no huge sign distinguishing it from the other warehouse businesses right next to it. Look for the wine barrels surrounding the door with thhe Armageddon logo and that's the door you enter! There's street parking available for no cost. Ambience You walk in and the space is more spacious than the outside looks! Since this weekend was it's Grand Opening, be prepared to not have a seat and stand around with your drinks. It was a bit tough holding the flight with nowhere to place your drinks. I suggest more tables or maybe placing those wine barrels around the seating area so we can at least have something to set our flights on. Ciders They've got 5 on tap currently all of which had all really great flavors that were distinct from each other! I honestly thought they would all taste the same, but the flavors surely did not disappoint! Here are the one's I tried: - Exile: It was a semi dry cider and was their traditional cider. It was easy to drink and not overly sweet. - Resurrection: This one was sweet and tons of honey flavor. The honey was a little overbearing for me so it wasn't my favorite. I probably wouldn't be able to drink a lot of this one, so a sample size was good enough for me! - Desire: This one was hands down my favorite! Made with local New Jersey blueberries... you can taste the blueberry flavors just popping through.. not to sweet either! - Ida's Heart: This one is a semi dry cider with a punch of tartness. A little to tart for my liking, but again still really tasty! This is definitely a place to check out! Prices are decent with their flights at $11! Bring your friends and food and have a good time hanging out. Can't wait to see what other ciders they come up with!

    Cool/chill place for some great ciders. It is a bit hard to find, they need better outdoor signage.

    Awesome hard ciders & meads. The atmosphere is relaxed and I enjoy watching the old Kung Fu flicks playing in the background.

    At the time, NJ laws made it incredibly difficult to brew quality cider, and mead was effectively illegal.

Their garden outside was done up with amazing seasonal florals and there was plenty of seating both inside and outside on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered a cider flight followed by a Pina colada wine drink and liked both. They had a Mexican food truck onsite that we also greatly enjoyed. They had self serve water stations both inside and out.The only reason this is not a 5 star review is because service was lacking.We received rather rude service from one of the bartenders when ordering drinks and found it challenging to determine what to do with our empty glasses, as no one was coming around to service tables and there was no drop bin either inside or out. Overall, a cute spot that I would return to for good cider.

They have board games/card games inside which you can bring out and play with your group. We got the flight to start off and you can mix ciders and beers. They also have different size growlers which you can take home and come back to refill at a cheaper price. Our favorite ciders were the shandy and blueberry! When we went, there was a pizza food truck which made fresh woodfire pizza which tasted great!

    Burnt Mills is one of my absolute favorite places to visit. It's a lot less commercial than some of…read morethe wineries/cideries throughout NJ/NY. I have tried almost all of their ciders and love tasting all the seasonal varieties on tap. Some of my favorites include the General George, Cider Donut, and Strawberry Lemonade. There's a bar inside and during peak months, a second bar is opened right outside the tasting room. There are two indoor bathrooms and a few porta-potties outside in the parking lot. They do not offer food on-site except for food trucks which are usually parked outside the tap room on weekends. You are allowed to bring your own food and I have even seen people set up for parties with a whole spread of snacks and treats. There is limited seating both inside and outside, so I strongly advise bringing lawn chairs. There's some picnic seating spread throughout the lawn, but it fills up quickly on a nice day. I love that they allow dogs as many of the wineries in the area do not. There's a bunch of lawn games available for kids and adults alike. They offer some 4 packs of cans and refillable growlers to take home. You can also find some of their ciders in local liquor stores. The parking lot fills up very quickly. The lot is a mix of dirt/gravel and can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Overall, a great day trip for families looking to relax outside on a nice day!

    Burnt Mills Cider, located on US Route 206 in Bedminster in a beautifully restored farm building,…read moreoffers innovative house-made "flavor-forward" ciders made from locally-sourced apples, a cozy but comfortable indoor tasting room with oak paneling and wood furniture crafted from the trees cleared on-site during construction, and a family-friendly and dog-friendly outdoor space with picnic tables, fire pits, and cornhole games. Burnt Mills offers a range of sweet and dry fruit-forward ciders in 4 oz., 8 oz., and 16 oz. servings with 12 options on tap, including seasonal specialties available only for a limited time. Thankfully, you can sample several of them at a time by ordering a flight of four 4 oz. servings. On my most recent visit, I really enjoyed the General George (5.5% ABV), a balanced cider featuring tart black cherry rounded out by vanilla that's smooth and dangerously easy to drink, and the Friendsgiving 2025 (5.5% ABV), a holiday in a glass that is a complex blend of cranberries, orange peel, rosemary, honey, and cinnamon. YUM! I'm definitely excited to go back and try the other varieties on-tap, then grab a growler or cans to go. PRO TIP #1: Drive slowly in the parking lot. There's a large dip midway up the driveway from US Route 206 that could bottom out your vehicle. PRO TIP #2: Pack a picnic basket. While recent changes to New Jersey's previously draconian liquor laws have eased many restrictions on microbreweries and cideries, they still can't have full-service kitchens. Burnt Mills often hosts food trucks on the weekends (check their calendar!), but you'll want to pack your own snacks if you visit during the week. You can also bring your own food or order from local Bedminster/Far Hills restaurants via a delivery app!
