First off, I love their patio seating with good music playing! They usually always have a food truck out front too which is awesome! Today they had over 16 ciders on tap and they have canned cider in the fridge. In the front of the store they have some awesome merch to purchase! I definitely love coming here with the family. Double shovel never disappoints! read more

Great cinders and I don't drink much so it's hard to impress me with flavor. The tropical cider is delicious! I bought a growler of it. I love the environment and energy in the building it's friendly, clean and welcoming. People come here to relax and hang out with friends or coworkers. Additionally It's kid friendly. They have a variety of seating inside and outside so it doesn't feel crowded. They have a small restaurant in the back that sells pasta that smell delicious. Getting a flight is the way to go as there is a selection of tasty ciders offered. read more

This was my #1 favorite place to visit while in Anchorage. Tried nearly every single cider that they had on tap that day, and every single one was so unique and delicious. Can't really taste the alcohol. Super spacious inside, and everyone is extremely friendly. Comes out almost instantly. Also really really good pizza in the food truck outside! Must visit! read more

- awesome service - good parking - I could have used a better variety of food - not every beverage is available for sale - wide availability of choices on flight is not enough go with friends, so u can try the most - my favorite was the beer-mosa read more

I love coming here, I know I'm always going to get a quality drink and have fun. I enjoy tasting their new/seasonal flavors as well as sticking to the originals. Their indoor and outdoor seating offers a good flow of people coming in and out so it doesn't feel too crowded. I enjoy that they offer snacks, have food trucks regularly and have a selection of merch for people and pets too! They are on-leash dog friendly, outdoor seating area only. read more

Great selection of ciders and good pricing! I recommend getting the flight first to try different ciders out.

Double shovel was the first place I had the guts to enjoy solo, back when they first opened. Their staff is always welcoming and informative. They consistently craft creative and tasty ciders. Most recently, I attended their birthday party where they served up cider margaritas, that we loved. They have expanded their seating area to allow for more business during peak hours. Double shovel regularly hosts vendors, food trucks, and markets, as well as, participates in local beer/brewing festivals across the state. read more

I gave this place another try after several years and I'm very pleased with the improvements. The outdoor patio area during the summer helps alleviate some of the crowding in the taproom. I love the local art on the walls. There's a lot more variety in cider flavors since I last visited which I appreciate. I had a flight with Tropic Phantasy, AK Apple, Pineapple, and Grapefruit Lavender. I found all the flavors nicely balanced, not too sweet or too dry. I really like how the flights flavors are listed on the back of a sticker. I enjoy hard cider and supporting local businesses, so I'm happy Anchorage has its own local cider place. I will be back! read more

First of all, I feel ashamed that I haven't written a review on Double Shovel when I attended the grand opening with Yelp years ago! Double Shovel was the first micro cidery in Alaska. The cider is amazing and the vendors the collaborate with are equally as awesome. Every person that I've introduced double shovel cider to has become a life long DS lover! Can't wait to see what else DS accomplishes! read more

Fun location. Perfect for a cidery. Lots of parking because it's an industrial area. Fun, friendly staff and feel to the place. Lots of flavors of cider. Tried the blueberry sour, Cider-Mosa, Pineapple & Grapefruit Lavender. Pineapple was our favorite. Did a taste of the cherry, but it was too sour without a balancing flavor. Blueberry was a close second for me. Thanks for a fun final Anchorage adventure before we head back to Atlanta! read more

Awesome music list. Peppy and fast paced. A really great section of merchandise. T-shirts, hats, bottles, etc. Clear pricing information located on a sign. A little bit of a seating area inside, but the real jewel in the outside patio. Tables, stools, Adirondack chairs. Friendly and fast service. And knowledgeable. Samples are available. Flights, too. Local greens were available when I was there. If a bag of local greens sounds a little weird, you and I are thinking the same. But they looked delicious and fresh. And of course, cider. So many tasty ciders. I think it would be hard for someone to not find something they liked, as long as one likes cider. I drink mostly beer, but I did find that the cider-mosa and the hopped ciders were pretty nice. And the cranberry cider was nice and sweet if that's your thing. Many people were raving about the crimson mint cider. It was only in the can, but people were buying the cans and grabbing a glass. We bought a four pack to go and I can confirm it is a really tasty cider. A mix of sweet and dry. Also, the local greens for sale...I can also confirm they are very tasty. read more

Great place for Saturday a great place great vibes great merchandise. My second trip to Alaska and I'm glad I made it here. The side was super superb. read more

There are roughly 10 breweries in Anchorage, but this is the only cidery I know of, and I'm glad they exist! Every time I go back, they have something new on tap, which is only in part why I am a repeat customer. Some of the taps that never change, ranging from extra dry to sweet, usually make it into my sample flight since I can never decide what to order. The staff here is always friendly, the prices very reasonable, the music very mood-setting and they also sell cool merchandise and local greens and art! read more

This is one of the best cider places I have been to. They have a great variaty on tab including their popular pineapple cider. We did a tasting of 4 ciders as well as pints of our favorites which are pineapple and blue berry sour. 2 small vendors were setup inside the tab room which was great. One of them had many delicious gluten free treats which went well with the cider. Overall the staff was great and the location was clean with beautiful wall decor. They also have a small section of branded items for sale. We will be back again for the cider. read more

Customer service is phenomenal! This was my first brewery experience and everyone was pretty helpful with suggesting ciders to try, very knowledgeable on their products. I love the vibes during the summer with the different food trucks. It's always a great time when I visit. If I could give a higher rating, I would! read more

I love this hidden gem!!! You see their ciders in most restaurants / bars but going there is better. A flight is $10 and a 5 Oz is only $4. The ciders are very light, not sweet at all really. Just a hint of pineapple, apple, cranberry. The cidermosa is my favorite (and has 8% alcohol!) Usually a food truck outside which is nice too. Went on a Saturday at 12:30. It got pretty crowded but emptied out by the time we left at 3:30. read more

Double Shovel Cider - Yummy goodness - Cideries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Fun cidery, above average selection of ciders but many had a similar flavor. Sadly the food vendor had zero idea about the attraction cider and cider joints have for folks going gluten free whether it's for preference or allergy. On GF option from the cidery was a prepackaged salad. Missing the boat maybe look for a BBQ food truck or street tacos which have a better cross appeal among GF folks and regular customers. Overall a true 4 star cider spot, pretty good but not standing out yet. read more

Double Shovel Cider - Rotating menu 7/3/2024 - Cideries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I love this place. It's a garage style cider bar. Friendly bartender or cider-tender. Very knowledgeable and quick to pour. We each got a flight for $4 usd. Although I am not a cider drinker I do love to try new things. This place has a great list to pick from, even non-alcohol ciders. We ordered: Extra dry - yum Appalanche - not my fav but decent Pineapple - yum, this one is unique Cider-mosa- I could drink this all day long. Yummy Grapefruit Lavendar - smells great not a fan my friend loves it. It's her fav Forget me Hopped - also yum Black and Wild - dark looking cider with a really interesting flavour. Yum Farmhouse Brut- not a fan at all. We thought it tasted like an old rusty tractor on the farm. This place is packed and I get why. Great cider and great staff. They have food trucks here daily if you want some food too. read more

Best cider in town!! Super cool atmosphere and they expanded, staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They offer cool merch and free stickers and will mail post cards for you from them. The cider also taste great. There are so many options there is something for everyone even non alcoholic options. It's already great, the only thing that would make it better would be good live music, maybe some country. read more

Double shovel was introduced to me as soon as I moved to anchorage. It was my friend's favorite place to grab a drink and her go-to drink at home. The lavender grapefruit is WHOA! So much lavender (In the best way)! Love the farmhouse brews too! It's nice to sit outside when it's warmer and they have food trucks and other pop up events that are pretty fun to check out. read more

I come here largely to work on stuff for my second job, on Monday's. (I used to go to coffee shops but I'm getting old and caffeine at 7pm is starting to do weird things to me, switching to ethanol.) The one-woman-show running the bar does an excellent job, she's really friendly, polite, and efficient! They usually have a great Texas BBQ foodtruck outside. Ambiance is lively and loud. The folks that hang out here are beautiful. I don't know what it is about cider, but it apparently attracts beautiful people to its estery goodness! It's been fun to watch our first/only cidery grow into such a staple of the community. I just wish more places had their "dry" cider on tap...they're keeping it all to themselves! Maybe that's the point? read more

Great local cidery, lots of interesting options/flavors. One of the brewmasters was there and gave me a detailed and super helpful run down of each cider (plus a tip that he recommends combining the Pineapple and Pepper Peak ciders, and it was really good). The Pineapple alone tasted to me like the juice in a can of Dole Pineapple (I mean that in the best way, I loved that stuff as a kid). The Extra Dry is a classic and the Forest Bittersweet was surprisingly good (for me, I don't normally like hopped cider but this one was really good). read more

This was one of the best parts of our trip! The bartender was super nice and informative. The ciders were the best ciders we have ever tasted and there was a wide variety. My husband even loved them and he is a beer drinker. read more

This place is so cool. I will return next time I am in Anchorage. If you are visiting or a local that has not been here yet, I highly recommend making the trip. This place has a variety of unique ciders.. I recommend getting the flight to try a selection. It is such a fun vibe and staff feels like friends. They have food trucks near to order food from. read more

Double Shovel Cider - four glasses of cid and a dog - Cideries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

This was our first time visiting Anchorage, and I'm so glad we made the trek out to visit Double Shovel Cider. I say "trek" because we walked the 2.2 miles there from Moose's Tooth Pub & PIzzeria. Double Shovel is a bit of a hidden gem. If we weren't looking for it, I don't think we would ever have come across this place. They have cozy indoor seating as well as outdoor tables. Our bartender/host was super friendly and helpful while guiding me through my flight selection. I LOVE that their flight selection ticket also doubles as a sticker souvenir! read more

Awesome little cidery, first that I have known of in AK. Small little set up in the industrial area with very little advertisement or signs to follow, so trust your gps lol. They have a nice selection of ciders "quite tasty I must add" with what I'm sure more to come. The inside is nothing of which the outside may lead you to believe, its a must see ;). Very friendly staff in a very new establishment, excited to see and have something a little different here in anchorage, and even more to try what is to come. Will definitely be returning, without a doubt :) read more

We loved this cidery so much!!!! All of the ciders are great and it's just adorable. We loved the locally featured artist too. Come check it out!! read more

We stopped by Double Shovel to try some ciders and were very impressed! There's a great variety of ciders here, with something for dry and sweet fans, and some interesting and creative brews. Our favorite was the lavender, but it's worth going for a flight if you can. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Double Shovel Cider - Cider flight. - Cideries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Tucked away in an industrial area near C Street, Double Shovel has an array of ciders to sample, ranging from sweet to dry. They usually have ten or so offerings on tap, with 12 Oz pours costing $6-8 (try the extra dry or Appalanche). They also fill growlers and have many ciders available for take away purchase. The tasting room is small but cozy and they have a wide range of shirts and other gifts available for purchase. There is a small outdoor seating area for use in warmer weather and plenty of parking. Good tunes on the stereo. read more

Great variations of flavors! Blown away by all the flavor choices of cider. They allow dogs outside and they also have food trucks near the sitting area outside. I'm sure the food trucks is based on food truck availability. My Friends and I had pizza and wings with our cider because of the food truck mountain pies and it was great. It was a great atmosphere inside and out and the staff was very nice and helpful. Also, because of all the cider options I had a flight which was really enjoyable and a great way to try a bunch of ciders at once. read more

What a neat little drinking joint!! We put the address into our GPS and made multiple turns until we were in an industrial area with storage garages. Feeling very confused, we decided to take a chance and park. What a pleasant surprise!! Double Shovel is set up in 2-3 bays with garage roll-up doors. There's a full sit down bar and a bunch of high tables. Really neat set-up!! A flight of cider is $10. There were 3 of us in our party so we had the chance to try every cider they had on tap plus the kombucha. Our favorites were Pineapple and Grapefruit Lavender. Yum! read more

My friend wanted to check this place out while we were in Anchorage, so we walked over from the Alaska Wild Berry Products store in like 20 degree weather. Was it the smartest thing to do, probably not but we needed to kill time. It was honestly a pleasant walk, so no regrets there! While walking along the more main road, it was hard to find the store. We saw a banner on a fence and just assumed we were in the right area. The food truck covered the main door so that's how we were thrown off. We arrived around 4:30 on a Friday, and there was plenty of seating. My friend got the flight while I settled for a cup of their kombucha. For the price, both the flight and the kombucha were super worth it. Maybe I'm jaded by Bay Area pricing, but $5 for a 12 oz of kombucha and $10 for a flight of four 5-oz ciders is a steal! The kombucha was omg, so delicious. The flavor for the day was berry lemonade which I mean, already sounded delicious. The server said they get their kombucha locally. Turns out they get it from Zip Kombucha, who's a local kombucha company close by to Double Shovel. It didn't feel too carbonated like other kombucha I've had, and I really wished they sold the kombucha in a can so I could've bought one for the road. My friend picked the following four ciders for her flight: Appalanche, pineapple, cranberry, and Early Harvest. I had a sip of each, and REALLY liked the pineapple one. I don't really drink alcohol and can taste even the slightest hint of it in a drink, but the pineapple one was just so good! I could really taste the pineapple, and I loved the citrus flavor. I liked that they have different food trucks that rotate serving the patrons inside so you could get food and have a drink in one spot. I wish we had something similar in the Bay Area, but overall Double Shovel ended up being a pleasant surprise. If I'm in Anchorage again, I would definitely come back. read more

Double Shovel Cider - Cideries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

While not really my type of atmosphere, their tasting room is beautiful. We sampled a flight of ciders, which were all a bit on the dry side for my taste. They have a food truck outside for those wanting to have a couple of drinks and a meal. Nice place in an industrial location. read more

The ciders are fresh, delicious and unique, the staff was friendly and the price is reasonable. Like many of the small breweries in town, it's tucked off the beaten path in an industrial area, but the interior was cozy and welcoming. Not only do I prefer cider to beer, but it's also just a nice way to switch things up when you've spent night after night at craft breweries. We were there in shoulder season, so the selection was a bit more sparse, but I was still happy to try so many different options. If you're toodling around this part of Alaska, I think this is a must stop. read more
