I miss this place. It's too bad that they closed. They always had some very interesting cider. The location could be very challenging. I particularly enjoyed the cherry glider cider. read more

A Cider location worth visiting. One of my sisters came to town and she's not much of a beer girl, but she does love her ciders. So this was our first stop on the journey. From the outside, if you didn't know better in the middle of winter, you would probably think you're in the wrong spot. Once inside, we were warmly greeted and invited to try as we went along. Lots of knowledge stood behind that bar and we all ended up with something we enjoyed. There are multiple comfy spots to settle in and plenty of options to work through if you want to stay for a bit. Shoot some pool. Play cards. Just chat. You'll want to hang out for a few, maybe indulge in a soft pretzel and grab another cider to go. read more

I was amazed that such a place could still have enough business in the hidden away location it's in. That being said, now that I know about it I'd be happy to recommend it to others and go back myself since I'm a bit of a Cider fan. There's a flight for only $8 where you can try a large range of ciders so you'll be able to figure out what you like. I was hoping to take a case home but I can't justify spending almost $60 for one. The atmosphere is spacious and is awesome on a sunny day. Social distancing is enforced which is great to see too. read more

Tried this place out because I was craving a non-store bought cider and this was the closet location with good reviews near me. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the location and ciders they were selling, location itself was a bit hard to track down being in the middle of a business park but I managed after having to turn around after missing a turn. I opted to try the Classic flight so I could try all the originals in one go, I enjoyed all but the dessert cider which I thought was a bit too syrupy sweet for me and my top favorite would either be the cherry or grasshopper theme cider, no clear winner here for me, but all the others were good as well. Gotta come back again and try the specialty flight, keep up the good work! read more

Loved my time checking out Colorado Cider! I am enjoying the movement of small cideries in storage/office parks like this. The atmosphere is a little interesting as you pull up, but warm and inviting once you arrive! Our bartender was wonderful at explaining the different ciders and let us try a few before we ordered. The blackberry, grasshopp-ah, and cherry were our favorites! We sat inside beside a small fire place which kept us nice and cozy while we enjoyed our drinks. read more

This was a fun place to check out and spend a sunny afternoon! There are some outdoor tables and also some spacious indoor options. We sat at the bar and tried a cider flight. I enjoyed the variety and flavors of ciders! The bartender was friendly and helpful and shared good information with us. read more

Aaron, Nate, and Jessica are the best! This was my first ever experience at a cider tasting. Also my first cider flight experience. And it was amazing! Flights never interested me because it was usually at a beer place. But cider? Sign me up! These three were so kind and welcoming, it made me feel good walking in alone. Aaron helped me the most, especially with first time choices and what I should go for. I really appreciated his input. Super knowledgeable. The flight was awesome! My favorites were the lavender, honey mix (pome al?), the grasss-hoppah, and the desciudo. I would make that lavender one a candle. It smells too good. As a drink, it reminds me of tea. The grass-hoopah is hard to describe, as far as tastes goes. The lemongrass is super prominent and makes for a unique cider taste. The desciudo (correct me if I said it wrong), has to be my favorite. It's so smooth. The taste reminds me of a moscato that I love. Great experience. Great people. Thank you so much for making me feel welcome, Aaron! read more

If you like cider, you'll love this place! My hubby and I initially drove right by it because it's tucked away in this storage facility area, but we ended up circling back and finding it. We had two options today : the flight of 8 for $8 or the other flight of 8 for $14 which features some limited releases and visiting cider companies. The Pome Mel was my favorite because it had hints of lemongrass and lavender, but I really liked the Bear Mel too because it was crisp and had the right amount of acidity. The guys behind the bar were friendly and personable but gave us plenty of space, which I appreciated. Last but not least, a group came in with their pig named Penelope! I initially thought it was strange and dirty but got a kick out of it after seeing it interact with customers snagging photos. read more

I came here for a Yelp's Winter Kickoff event. I tried a complimentary cherry glider cider as well as a sip of my roomie's lavender, rosemary cider. I enjoyed the cherry cider a lot as it reminded me of my favorite cherry beer Kriek lambic. The rosemary, lavender however reminded me of soap despite my love for lavender tea and ice cream. Its is definitely fragrant and good for those who like herby ciders. The Cider Co. was kind enough to raffle off a beanie and a sweater during the Yelp event (I sadly was not the winner of that raffle). They have a $1 off check in offer and a flight for tasters for $5. The location is only open on Fridays and Saturadys if I remember correctly. I am curious to try all their other ciders. read more

Location: in a warehouse on south side of 2nd Ave. Go to Wit's End brewing next door first then come to Cider because logistic should be bitter sweet not sweet to bitter. What if you don't like beer, spirits, and wine? Cider is your answer. Grasshop-ah kicks your lemongrass with a 7% ABV zest. Seasonal pear and cherry wasn't really my thing so just sample the regular 6 flavors for $5 then get a growler of the Hop-Ah. read more

What a great spot! A gem in this warehouse district area. We had a blast at the Cider Fest earlier This summer and decided that a Grp of us should take a chill Saturday and check out the actual place. We got there at opening to meet a group of friends and enjoy their sampling menu. We ordered both the specialty and signature assortment of ciders along with regular orders of the ciders we enjoyed from the sampling. Both staff people were VERY FRIENDLY and so attentive on picking up the empty sampling cups. It was a fun tasting experience and would definitely go back again. I enjoyed the fun vintage patio green two seater chairs, variety of games & cards, the huge industrial fan for the hot summer weather, outdoor patio section, and the laid back Chill ambiance the cider place had GREAT JOB CO CIDER COMPANY read more

I love this little place! Colorado Cider not only has some tasty cider, but also has a tasting room. You can order an individual glass or get two different types of flights. They have a little indoor seating area and an outdoor seating area that's dog friendly. read more

Supercool tap room experience! We stopped in on Saturday afternoon and had a great time sampling all 4 ciders and chatting it up with the proprietors! It was great discussing the cider making history, culture, and business with them. They have a great little set up with a small bar, high top tables and some glider seating :) There is also a small TV so we watched a bit of the game as well! There is a yelp check in deal for $1 off the first two glasses. And I was able to purchase a bottle to take home! All items are very well priced and delicious! I will be returning, oh yes I will be! read more

This cidery is worth the hunt. It can be hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for, but it's a great spot. No bells and whistles... just good cider and a good atmosphere. Awesome outdoor patio for the warm weather month (but that also Means smaller space for winter). The staff is friendly and the flights are great. Also a dream For this gluten free folks! All GF and delicious. read more

I've been in and out of Colorado Cider since moving to Denver 3 years ago. It's tucked away southwest of the Baker area and at first glance it looks like another warehouse among warehouses. Inside is a small tasting room where very friendly servers will serve you up some of the most delicious and refreshing ciders you'll find around. All of the ciders do a great job of balancing the sweetness that cider naturally has, with some dry characteristics so it doesn't taste like you're sucking down a cavity-in-waiting. My favorites are the PomMel, which is herbacious and flowery, as well as the Cherry Glider Cider, which is the tastier (in my opinion) brother of the regular Glider Cider. Recently when I was in, I was able to sample a new brew that they are trying out and provide some feedback on the taste - what a great way to invest customers in what you're doing. read more

Interesting place to taste the different ciders they have. we did the flight and got 8 2.5 oz pours for $8. My favorites included the grasshoppa (nice lemongrass flavor) and their original glider cider, and my least favorite was their rosemary and lavendar one. They also had a few specialty pours I didn't try, but maybe sometime in the future. The growler didn't seem like a great deal since they charge $50/for the empty 64oz container and it looks like you only save less than $3 every time you fill it. So after 22 fills then you break even? Perhaps I am missing something? I still enjoyed the experience but it was a bit out of the way and am thinking next time I may just drink bottles of their cider from my fridge. :) read more

If you want a local cider pick this on the menu. From the beer cooler. Or stop into their actual location! Good mix of sweet and dry ciders. The tap room has some snacks and baked games. The usual setup but it can be a little hard to find. If you are not looking. Still worth the drive over and stopping in for a flight. Love the art for their labels! read more

Colorado Cider made my trip to Denver great! It was GABF week and we went to I don't know how many breweries and drank more beers than I can fathom. Alot of memorable beers but my heart has a weak spot for cider. After all those breweries, Colorado Cider was the only place we went back to twice! Starting with the free samples was a great way to experience the spectrum of Colorado Cider. Loved the Grasshopp-ah, Glliders were both very good - easy drinking refreshing ciders. A few pints later and it still tastes great .. one of the few bottles i carried back from Colorado was the Grasshopp-ah. (oh, and those pretzels are a very good companion to the cider). The tasting room is really part of the cidery, where they make the product. You can see the barrels that they age in and all the machines right there. Kind of neat, and a bit different from how breweries make beer. The owners were great, friendly people and it felt like we could talk about cider all day.. This is one of those places that I will return to every time I am back in Denver, so glad to have found it! read more

I can't say enough good things about Colorado Cider! My sister and I stopped in about a week ago, and had a fantastic afternoon. We were immediately greeted by one of the owners, and took a seat outside. Your visit to Colorado Cider will start with a free sampler of their five offerings - what's extra cool is that they lay them out on a place mat which describes each type. So, by the time you get to the 5th, you still know what's going on. :) From there, you can purchase ciders by the glass, and also get bottles to go. I bought seven or eight bottles to take home, and have given several away as gifts. So far, everyone has loved the cider as much as I did - I'll be back very, very soon for more! To top it all off, the owners are awesome - friendly, welcoming, and they genuinely appreciate your business. Take some time out of your day and stop by! read more

This spot is tucked in the back corner of a industrial strip off Bryant and 2nd Ave. If you have never been, try the taster flight. For $5 you can try all the regular ciders and for a few bucks more you can try the rotating taps. The ambiance is nothing to write home about and the hours are rather limited, but the folks are friendly and among their tap offerings, there is bound to be a cider that you will love! For me, it's the Grasshop-Ah. For my SO, it's the Pomme Mel. You be the judge! read more

Looking to check out the Denver miro-brew underground? This off-the-beaten-track location needs to make it onto your list. Some very interesting ciders to be had here. My personal favorite what the grass-hoppa, a lemongrass infused variety. The owners also mentioned they may be offering a lambic this fall as well as potential plans to make a "denver cider" for residents with extra backyard apples. Can't wait! Tip: If you stop here, be sure to check out Wit's End nano-brewery just down the street. read more

Well, I finally made it to Colorado Cider Company for a tasting (it was closed the first time I tried)... and man was I impressed! They had some GREAT ciders. There were some with pear, honey, apples, lemongrass, cherry and even one aged in oak barrels. We did the standard tasting of 8 ciders and I have to say I was totally surprised by what I did like and didn't care for... totally opposite of what I thought based on descriptions. - Glider Cider is you basic cider, a little sweet and delicious! - Glider Cider Dry... same as the first but a little dryer and delicious! - Cherry Glider... same as the first but with cherry juice and delicious! - Grasshop-ah... described with flavors of hops and lemongrass... totally didn't expect to like it. Guess what... it was my favorite! AWESOME!! There were a few that did not work for me... the pear one, the oak barrel aged one and some limited edition one with honey. But, hey you can't love them all. However, the highlight of it all is the Distraction. It is more like a dessert cider/wine... whatever you want to call it. It's sweet, aged in rum barrels, has 14.5 % ABV, goes great in a brandy snifter for a nice after dinner drink and is freaking AWESOME!!! I am feeling like I need to get back and stock up as it is limited release and I only bought one bottle. But not to worry, they have a new version in whiskey barrels coming out next spring! This place has a really fun atmosphere, great ciders for tasting or by the pint (you can also grab bottles to go), a few great snacks to go with your cider and great prices. It's only open limited hours on Fri, Sat, Sun so check the web site and head on down for a tasting. Is it Friday yet? read more

I like this place a lot. It is refreshing to be able to sample the ciders for free instead of paying $14 (coughStrangeBrewingcough) a sampler. All of the ciders were great, especially Pome Mel & Grasshop-Ah. The Pome Mel was my favorite with wildflower honey, lavender, and rosemary. Yum! It's a nice little tasting room, pretty cozy and they even have a small patio area. One of the owners was there, Kathy(?) and she was super nice and informative, telling us there was no extra sugar added to their ciders which I appreciate. The ciders are all on the higher end of 6% ABV so even though it tastes like you are drinking delicious apple juice, watch out! I liked this place so much I even asked for an application! read more

Colorado Cider - Free samples - Cideries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The day started out as a beautiful, lazy Saturday afternoon. I was on Yelp, trying to find some things to do while enjoying my visit to Denver. I stumbled across the Colorado Cider company, and saw that they did free tastings on Saturdays. So off my friend and I went to discover this little hidden gem. Seriously, whether you are a cider lover or not, this place needs to make it on your top ten list of things to do. From it's quaint, off the beaten path location, to it's awesome little tasting area within the actual brewery, this place is all around awesome. The owners are friendly and personable, and give you a free sample of each of their 4 ciders. They give facts and information about all of them, and when you are done, you can either order a glass to enjoy there, or order a bottle of your favorite to take home, all at a very reasonable price. Oh, and the added bonus? Their ciders are delightful, with my personal favorite being the Grass-hoppa, a lemongrass infused cider, with an amazing crisp refreshing taste. I enjoyed every second at this little diamond in the rough, and the owners even directed us to another little brewery just a hop, skip, and a jump away called Wit's End. And although I am safely back home in Kansas City, I will definitely be hitting this place up again on my next Denver excursion. read more

What a great hidden gem! Tucked into a warehouse block, this cidery is a ton of fun! They have pretzels, but they let us bring our own food.

While on a visit to colorado, then of my friends and I visit Colorado Cider. It's a strange location in an more industrial area. When we arrived, the staff was very helpful in arranging a few different tables to make on large enough for all eleven of us to sit at. We were able to try seven different ciders that they had on tap. Now, I've tried a lot of different ciders in my time, and I don't lie when I say that I drank the best cider that I've ever had in my life. It's called Pom Mel (kind of a play on French for Apple Honey) and the stuff tastes like lying under an apple tree in a field full of lavender and rosemary while bumble bees gently fly in the background. Seriously. This stuff tastes like an experience. It's SO delicious. The other ciders were delicious (though ol stumpy was not my favorite, but that's just because I'm not into oak flavors). The folks who were working gave us an impromptu tour of the space as well which was awesome. Most of our group purchased a few bottles of cider despite the risk and hassle of transporting them back to the east coast. Our made it, thankfully, and it's hard to decide whether or not to drink them immediately or save them since we don't know when we'll be able to get it again. read more

Tucked in a storage facility hide-away, Colorado Cider Company is the go-to spot for cider in Colorado. Floral, sweet and sour ciders are brewed in-house and served by the tap. Order the 8 taster flight to get the full experience ranging from the dry, crisp Glider Cider to the sweet Cherry Glider. My favorite is the Grasshop-ah with its sweet lemon flavor and aroma. If you're not a fan of beer, come sip on some cider! It's as drinkable as beer and as tasty as wine! But! Find a better location! You'll get more business! 5 out of 5 for the delicious cider native to Colorado! read more

If you're planning on a Denver brewery crawl, you have to put Colorado Cider on your list! (And try to do it first since it's kind of in a crazy location near Wits End). The facility is pretty small and is only run by 4 people, but the cool thing is that anytime you go, you'll be able to ask a knowledgeable employee all of your burning questions about cider and how it's made. On the Sunday we went, one of the workers gave us a quick tour around their facility and started us off with a free sampler of 6 of their ciders (I think we got a couple ounces of each, at least) and guided us through each of the flavors. I was a fan of their original, the Glider Cider (...ahh, like an adult Juicy Juice box!) but they also had a few cool twists on cider, such as their Mel cider (made with honey and lavender...it tasted like Paris on a spring morning after the rain...whatever that could mean) and their Grasshoppah, which is like a perfect mix between a hoppy ale and a cider. I don't think you can find their ciders outside of Denver yet because they are so new, so swing on by their taproom! And make sure to check their web site for their hours, since I think the Yelp hours listed are a little off. read more

I feel like I have had a lot of frustration with this company. First of all their tasting room hours are extremely limited. They are only open on Friday through Sunday. Friday they are open from like 3-6 p.m. Right smack dab in the middle of rush hour in Denver. Yes, I planned to go several hours ahead but you know how slow rush hour can be(I live in Fort Collins). If there is any accident or some kind of significant hold up in turns into rush hours. Friday rush hour is also one of the slowest rush hours during the work week. They are open a bit longer on the weekends but not much. Many people work on weekends these days anyway. Two attempts were made to reach their tasting room before they closed and both were epic fails! I even got in their parking lot but was just a few minutes late and struck out. So I went to their website to see if I could buy the cider at a liquor store but for some reason the website seems to give some kinds of mobile devices trouble and you can't read everything that is written on the site. Grrrrr. I called the Cider place to see if I could talk to someone as to where to get their cider. No one answered. Left a message. No return call. I eventually figured out that they do indeed sell cider at many stores up and down the Front Range under the link 'Find Us' on their website. But the sometimes unfriendly mobile device site acted up and I could not tell where I could go to buy it. I made a guess then and went to the totally awesome Argonaut Liquors to see if they carried their cider and indeed they did. I bought the Grasshoppa cider which has a Lemongrass flavor to it. Definitely unique. I was hoping though that the cider would have more complexity in taste, making a nice balance between appley cider and Lemongrass but it seemed to fall short of that. In the end the cider was more or less decent but what a hassle to go to where they make it! Just go to their website and hope you can find a place near you where they sell it and hope you can read everything it says on your mobile phone. read more

I am in love with Colorado Cider. Every single one of the 8 ciders we were given to try were amazing, and all so different. I love love love the delicious Pome Mel with its lavender and rosemary hints, and also the Cherry Cider, which is perfectly balanced with tart, sweet, and crisp qualities. The ladies pouring were very helpful answering questions I had, and provided delightful little snippets of information about the ciders. I can't wait to come back and bring friends to show off this place. read more

Stopped by here after a trip to Wit's End brewery across the street. Such a great place to check out, with their delicious cider offerings and friendly staff. Huge bonus that their tastings are free, which you get to try 4 different ciders. I love their original Glider Cider... a pretty perfect cider, IMO. The dry Glider was also very good, but I liked the regular one better. If you haven't tried to the Grasshop-ah, you definitely need to. It is unlike any cider or beer I've ever had. My friend described it well, by saying it tasted like a cross between herbal tea and cider. It's so hard to explain, that you just need to try it yourself. The space is pretty industrial, but they have a great deck/patio that will be awesome this summer. I'm excited to have this place so close to home, and will definitely be coming back on a warm summer day for some nice cold and refreshing cider. read more

This has been our absolute favorite part of our visit to Denver. We opted to try both flights (regular and signature small batches). It was well priced for the quality and effort that goes into some incredible flavors. The staff was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed chatting with them!

Man alive! This establishment is awesome sauce in all ways that are good and holy in the world. Even if you want to pretend and be a beer snob how could you turn down alcoholic juice? Everyone who's anyone should fo sho check this place out. Beware, the hours are not the best but if you check Yelp before you make plans then you can get in and get out with ease. The location itself is simple with that warehouse feel that is either a chop shop or an awesome place to taste some libations. I highly recommend getting the full flight of ciders so that you can experience each one in all their grandeur. Out of the five year round options four are top notch - only one could I do with out. Here's a breakdown but feel free to visit and formulate your own opinion: 1) Pom Mel tastes like you're sipping on an old lady's perfume bottle. It's not very good IMO but some folks love it. I guess it's a matter of taste. Literally. 2) The Glider Cider is your typical cider that you can find in most liquor stores around town. It's sweet but not over the top and it goes down smoothly. 3) The Glider Dry is just a more dry version of the basic cider for those folks who like it that way. You never know when you might be in a dry mood. 4) The Ol' Stumpy is made in Chardonnay barrels so it has almost a woody taste to it but not over the top. A solid option for the more experimental peeps. 5) Grasshop-Ah. Hands down THE BEST CIDER EVER! It's just perfect cuz it is. Do yourself a favor and try this bad boy out! Of course, there are other season options that are delicious so it's best to just keep coming back to see what's new and fresh. There is a ton of seating options both inside and out, high-top, family style and even room at the bar! The staff is quite knowledgeable, the prices are cheap and there's even a Yelp check-in deal for $1 off a full pint. Plus they have merchandise for sale and individual bottles to take home with all the freshness you can handle. Stop in, take a ride and discover that you too can love some local Colorado cider! read more

Living in Colorado, everyone always wants to go to the new it-brewery. But whenever I go, the breweries don't offer anything other than beer, leaving me thirsty (stupid celiac!). I definitely don't love the sugary-sweet ciders that you get in the liquor store. Now I have a wonderful new option - The Colorado Cider Company! Trek a little off the beaten path to an industrial park just southeast of Santa Fe and 6th, and you will find this gem. Here's why you'll love it: - they have six different ciders on tap! You might think that ciders all taste the same, but each offering had a different flair. Lavender and rosemary? Yup. Lemongrass and hops (yes, hops are gluten free)? Oh, yeah. Aged in a chardonnay barrel? Delicious. My favorite was the Grasshop-ah, which features a tangy, spicy sweetness that is not at all sugary. Very refreshing. - the ambiance is very relaxed. Right when you walk in, you'll notice the high ceilings, barrels full of cider, and big garage doors that open up to balconies. You'll feel instantly at home. This is the kind of space that you could spend the entire afternoon laughing with a big group, playing board games, or just reading in the sun. - the product is made with 80% Colorado-grown apples. Who knew that we grew apples? - most importantly, the service is wonderful. The women behind the bar also make the cider, and it's clear that they love what they do and are thrilled to share their passions with everyone. Definitely try it out! You won't be disappointed. read more

So, there's delicious Colorado Cider less than a mile and a half from my house. This is the kind of thing that restores my faith in the world we live in. Seriously, this is good stuff. I've had the Glider and the Grasshoppa before, but I was able to sample everything upon my last excursion, and if you haven't had the Mel or the Ol Stumpy, you're doing yourself a disservice. Their recipes are very good, without being overly sweet like others on the market. As far as domestic ciders go, this is my favorite. I'll be coming back here often. Cheers! read more
