This is a cozy place to spend a winter afternoon or evening. It's nice to have an establishment dedicated to cider when there are so many breweries around. I also hope that it sticks around after other breweries in the area have closed recently (RIP Oskar Blues, Circle Brewery, etc.) There is a food truck outside, Spicy Boys Chicken, that specializes in Korean Chicken. The menu is limited but I did find everything that we ordered to be very tasty. Back in the cidery, I loved that they had a wide variety of options to choose from including NA drinks, zero sugar drinks and other ones as well. It seemed like there was something for everyone. On Thursdays they host Geeks Who Drink Trivia which is pretty fun to participate in with a group. If you've played their version of trivia before, you'll know that its pretty entertaining even if you don't have the most trivia-inclined groups. I very much enjoy having this wonderful establishment in my neighborhood and I hope that it sticks around for a long time. read more

Great cider options, vibes, and service! When we visited, the spicy boys food truck was parked here so we were able to enjoy amazing food and great cider at this really cute spot. They just came out with new Agua Fresca's that we got to try and I can't wait to buy a four-pack the next time we have a pool outing. There is a cider for everyone. I'm not usually a cider person, but the complexity of these drinks was intriguing and I loved everything I tried. My fav was the super Asian cider! They have WiFi, ping pong table, and a coffee shop is attached! read more

Great vibes and good cider. I had the Cybersport and it was a refreshing grapefruit cider that wasn't too sweet or dry. Service is friendly and the DJs they had playing Friday night were fun. Didn't get a chance to try but the karaoke room seemed like a good time. read more

Fairweather Cider - Cybersport - Cideries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Fun little place. They have a couple of natural wines they rotate and some tapas. Nice to be able to sit outside and not feel crammed.

Support. Your. Local. Cideries. I'm not even that gung ho about ciders, but a lot of my girlfriends are. I'm so glad we stopped by Fairweather. It's very laid back, intimate, and relaxing with its clean aesthetic. Down in South Atx, we have Texas Keeper (awesome cidery, very different fireflies-on-the-porch and farmside vibes), so it was nice to see a completely different cidery with literally garage-space, elevated, and hipster vibes. We both got cider flights, and loved the diversity of selections. Their ciders are all hilariously named (Fuccboisen is my favorite...I should've ordered that). I enjoyed their Smell the Van and EZ Tea (it truly tastes like tea!). The EZ tea was so delicious. Quenches thirst, subtle, and very honey-like. Their ciders aren't sickeningly sweet, and the flights give you a great little taste of all of the ciders that you're curious about but are unsure about getting a whole pint of. Their inventory has a clean design too. Their tees are super adorable, as well as their BEVERAGES sweaters. Tempting. Service was wonderful. Our cider taptender was a wonderful man who was very sweet, knowledgeable and welcoming. The space is small, so it's not recommended you come here with a huge group (unless you plan on taking up the entire space. They have strong wifi, serve-yourself water, and different styles of seating from regular tables to taller barstools. They have little succulents on the table along with a well-designed menu for their "specials" deals. I would usually go to 4th Tap next door, but why not do both and hit up Fairweather too? read more

Fairweather Cider - Flights! - Cideries Near Me - Austin, Texas

After having driven past this Cidery for years, my wife and I finally stopped in two Sundays ago. There is a ton of space inside, a ping pong table, and a coffee shop. Additional bonus, the Spicy Boys food truck is just out front. While there my wife and I tried three different ciders. The Cydersport was our favorite, very light, dry and refreshing. It appears that they host karaoke and have some happy hour specials as well. This is a very cool spot that I think would be perfect for an after-work happy hour. read more

I usually am not a fan of cider...at all! But, after some friends who are also beerdrinkers suggested this place and that it wasn't your typically overly-sweet cider (which is what I have the aversion to) suggested this place, I decided "why not?". The vibe here is super chill and the cider-barista was super nice and everyone there chimed in when I asked about the diff ciders they were offering. So I will say, while I am still not on the cider bandwagon (I mean beer will always be my first love), the ciders here were actually drinkable! I enjoyed that they were on the drier side so your mouth isn't annihilated by chocolate and you can actually appreciate the different flavor components of each one! I will also give them kudos for actually packing a little bit of a punch w/the abv, which you don't usually see with ciders either! Definitely enjoyed the vibe and the concept here! read more

Cider placed located nearby the breweries in northwest Austin. There is outdoor and indoor seating for all. Pets are allowed indoors as well. Inside, there are also ping pong tables . There is a coffee shop within the same building. Next to here is a brewery that you can also get beer from. There is the Spicy Boys food truck on site for snacks while you drink. I think it's a good place to check out if you like ciders and are in the area. The bartender the day we visited was very friendly and explained the different ciders they have on tap. read more

Fairweather Cider Co is a great spot to hang with friends and if you want to play some Geeks Who Drink trivia, this is the place. It's not too crowded and not a bad seat. read more

I absolutely love this place. I love the energy, I love the ambiance, and I love how friendly the staff is. great ciders and the chicken truck (Spicy Boys) is amazing!! read more

Love this cider taproom! Try the rose cider-it's perfect. Tables are spaced 6 feet apart and it's open air so very safe for Covid. Cute decor and fun, upbeat music. Will definitely be back! read more

First ACTUALLY dry cider I have had while in Texas. Please do yourself a favor and visit this tap room. It all started with a long wait for barbecue and a guy wearing a cidery shirt/hat. A quick google search later I dragged my family to this tap room so I could get a cider fix (having spent five years in the PNW it is a tough itch to scratch here in TX). The bartender/coowner was extremely friendly and ready to answer all questions. He was adorable and alone was reason enough for a follow up visit. My sister and I had a flight of their four ciders on tap. Currently: Common: base for all other cider, ACTUALLY DRY. In lurv Tejano dreams: green chile cider, bomb af. Strong pepper aroma and beautiful subtle Chile flavor. Nelson sauvin (I think).... very strong hop flavor forward with sweet cider finish. A good balance for people seeking hop flavor while trying to expand to cider. huell melon: hop flavor is SO subtle that it almost tastes like sour fruit flavor. I LOVED this cider. I can't wait to try it again. Opens only Fri-Sun this is definitely a stop to add to your weekend plans. There are big things coming for this cidery. I can't wait to watch them grow. I loved this cidery and cider and definitely recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Fairweather Cider - Flight of their four ciders on tap. Common, tejano dreams, Nelson sauvin (I think), huell melon . - Cideries Near Me - Austin, Texas

We bought a couple ciders to try. They were so god awful that my buddy secretly poured them out in the bathroom. It tasted like i was drinking a funky armpit wine. Gooooooooooooo read more

I really love Fairweather's concept and having a new addition to Metric Row that isn't another brewery! (Love to y'all breweries, though.) I came here the day after opening day with a few friends who love cider (I'm indifferent) to try out their brews. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! We each ordered a flight of their four ciders on tap. One was the Common, which is the base for all their ciders. Another was one of my favorites even though it involved a little heat from some peppers! The last two were hopped ciders, and the bartender/co-owner told us if we tried them first in different orders, we may like one over the other. He was right, both both were delightful. I want to give a five-star review to support a new business, but my only tiny complaint would be the fruit flies. Some kept buzzing about here and there, but you can only imagine they want to get a taste of this dry cider sweetness! If you're a beer person like me, you may have found a new hangout for your friends who don't love beer as much as you. But you'll still enjoy what Fairweather has to offer -- so much so, I ordered a 12-oz pour of my favorite hopped cider after my flight! Good luck, guys, and congrats on your opening! read more

Fairweather Cider - The Fairweather flight is a steal at $9! - Cideries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Frozen Rose "Frozè" is super delicious! Currently, they have "PowerFade" as the frosty frozen drink! Super good, kind of like a frozen margarita. This cidery has really good drinks and hosts Austin FC watch parties. Fairweather also has partnered with Spokesman Coffee if someone in your group wants a coffee! If you're here at 11am, which would you pick? Why not both? Good vibes, good music, and a great atmosphere. Bartenders are super friendly. I like it here! Check out 4th Tap and the pizza truck outside as well! read more

Love this place! I had a cider flight and loved all four selections. The vibe is really cool I will definitely be back!

If you like dry ciders, this place is for you. The Tejano Dreams is my favorite. They also have wine if you are not into cider. Place is a little small. You can get a flight or by the glass. If you are usually a beer drinker or new to ciders, they will definitely let you try a few so you can find your favorite. If you are hungry, there are usually food trucks at 4th tap and they let you bring food in. It is not officially dog friendly but sometimes they have a table outside when the garage is open. read more

So many good things to say. I first and foremost am not a cider guy. Came in here on a referral from a friend and was surprisingly impressed with the operation. The cider was good they had some crisp ciders that came off more like a beer if that's what you need. My favorite was the blood orange or the pear. Still a toss up between the two. Also this place has some crazy good wines. They are cheap for a much better quality compared to the ones you get in most stores. They had football running great AC for that Texas heat. Best of all they allow dogs! When I came in my novice skills when drinking wine and ciders were put aside by the owner who gave me a great understanding and tour of his selections. The staff are all super friendly too! There are no downsides to this place. Except for the hangovers. (Mostly self inflicted) I recommend Sundays. For your visit. There is a cool little coffee shop inside too. Nervous Charlie's was serving up brunch. Soo many good combinations outside of your regular mimosa routine. Do yourself a favor. You are not too cool to break away from your traditions to try this place. In regards to the cider snobs leaving bad reviews. They obviously didn't come here for something new. Why would you want to go somewhere that copied someone else? Boring.... wish they could get more stars. read more

This taproom has a very minimalistic and industrial aesthetic that makes it a perfect place to catch up with a friend. It's quite small, but there was ample seating when I was there. Their cider is different from most of the dry ones I've had before - my favorite was the common with citrus-y flavors. The Apple flavor wasn't as strong as I was expecting (or used to with other ciders), and maybe that's just the case with a "true" dry cider. It tasted almost like a wine, which is great if you're a wine lover, I suppose! read more

Liked how chill this place was! Huge screen for sports. Bench seats with high table and a bar. Some doggos were there and you can bring your own food in. I think a coffee shop was attached too but it was closed at night. We got two samplers and honestly it's hard to pick a fave and the flavors were fun! Great place to hang out and have some drinks. *went in the fall! Plan to be be back this spring since the doors will be open * fingers crossed** read more

Great spot in the domain area to get a casual drink or to host an event! Indoor/outdoor seating usually with a food truck outside so you can grab a bite while you enjoy your cider. If you're looking for a fun, casual place for a birthday party or other celebration they also have a karaoke room that was a big hit with our group. Only minor downside worth noting is the parking lot is very small but there is street parking available. However it's so close to Q2 stadium be careful about going on an Austin FC game day because the parking prices go way up those days. read more

This cider is heavenly! If you like dry, innovative ciders (think boysenberry, blood orange + hops, cider with electrolytes) you've got to check out Fairweather. It's well-priced, and the tap room is spacious and bright. You can even take a crowler home! read more

Fairweather Cinder is absolutely the best cider you will ever taste! They have an awesome new taproom to visit with several delicious options to try. At my first visit I tried the flight so I could taste them all, and each one was better than the last! My favorite is the Tejano Dreams which is their ancho chili cider. This is a seriously delicious cider with a definite chili flavor without the heat that normally over powers all other notes. I found this cider to be exceptional, and like all of their others, not overly sweet. The guys who own and work at this place are really awesome and helpful when choosing your cider. They've recently started canning and I cant wait to pick up a sixer at the Whip In! read more

Fairweather Cider - Cideries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Fairweather was a surprise find for me thanks to the wise owner of Sunrise Mini Mart. That guy knows SO much about all different types of distilled liquids, I wish I had a brain that could store that much knowledge. I digress, this review is about the awesome family who started Fairweather (super friendly and knowledgeable). I bought their cans of Common and was blown away. Cideries claim to have dry cider all the time, but it's not TRULY dry. Common though was legit. These guys are making a truly BONE DRY English style cider from apples sourced from the PNW. It's not perfect yet, but you can taste the potential. It reminds me of Shacksbury. The fun artwork on the can intrigued me to go check out this spot that was just a few minutes drive away. The tasting room is TINY! Start small and dream big! Kuddos to them for turning a cold warehouse space into a fun modern hipster community watering hole. On a Friday night, get here early to even find a spot to sit! I arrived around 5:30pm and sat at a high table outside and had no line. By 7pm, people were crowded elbow to elbow, with a long line. There also is very limited parking. Be prepared to take time to find a spot and walk. When they state they are pet friendly they mean it. Not only was my furry friend chilling with others, we were soon joined by a parrot! I had a great time. I had come by myself, but ended up having several great conversations with people I had never met before. Truly this place is only months old, and has quickly become a new neighborhood hang out. The ciders are all 6.5%. You can enjoy a flight of 4x4OZ for $10, enjoy a glass, or enjoy a guest cider or something from Austin Winery. I love the local support for other local liquid makers. There is a wide range of ciders to choose from. They have some fun experimental ciders that were not like anything I have tried before. It's hard to choose just four for a flight. They have their staples- Common, EZ TEA, and Tejano Dreams, but also some Dry Hopped Ciders, and fruit ciders. My favorites were Tejano Dreams (nice kick), Gin Bot, and Dr. Rudi. read more

The cider made here is a dry cider. The common is the main cider. They have branch out to make outstanding ciders. Small cozy space, believe looking to expand the tap room. Great location in the beer district, so maybe taking a shared ride and walking is suggested. Never a dull time. read more

Fairwheather cider was definitely a surprise and a hidden gem. It's a very small location but it is in the burnet brewing scene, as it's located right next to 4th tap. Their cider is so amazing with fusions with sweet tea, gin, wine and different fruits, it'll definitely give you a pleasant experience you may not have been expecting. They also have so many more flavor options than what they offer in the store so id go to the cider for more options. You can also take pictures in front of the interesting wall art with the unicorn things going on. read more

Great local cider, in the "brewery area" of north Austin. They're got cute merch and you must try the jalapeño cider!

Not a cider fan, but the cider selections here are very refreshing. It's a small place. The bartenders are very sweet.

Great service and even better cider! Milky Fruity was amazing, definitely recommend trying the seasonal ciders.

The space was cute and environment warm. However I was unable to finish any of the ciders in the flight. Most of them had a an off-putting smell and taste and I was unable to drink anymore. It's unfortunate that is 1/2 cideries in Austin. read more

Honestly the best cider I've ever had. We popped in here after seeing it on the menu at a local restaurant and we were not disappointed. They have twelve ciders on tap so we got a flight and liked them all! Favorites were the Chinook and Tinto. Would 100% come again. The taproom is airy, bright, and clean. I'm usually a beer drinker and down for any brewery over a cider place, but I'd go here any time. read more

Great place for something different in Austin. If you dont like cider, you definately need to try this place and see what you are missing. This is nothing like you are used to. This is nothing you have had before. You will be surprised and I expect likes on my review. read more

Best cider in Austin as far as I'm concerned. The fukboisen is awesome, all of the hopped ciders are delicious and it's right by a few breweries so perfect for a cider rest while going through the metric/burnet area breweries. read more

Incredible dry ciders. Definitely try the Tejano Dreams -- green chile cider, but not spicy. Actually, just try everything. Get the dry-hopped flight (4 different hop varietals). Get the fruity flight. Just get it all. 12 ciders, 4 per flight -- you can do this, especially if you go with a friend. read more

Tried 8 of the 10 ciders on tap today, all were interesting and worth while. That said, the special sparkling cider was phenomenal! Took a bottle home with me. These guys are doing great work and they could be nicer! Love this place!! read more

I hate to be the dissenting opinion here, but the cider isn't good. I'm from the part of the country that actually grows apples, I know what cider is supposed to taste like, and this isn't it. I give it two stars because the tasting room is laid back and dog friendly. The employee pouring the night we went was friendly and answered my questions like, where do the apples come from since you can't grown those in Texas (answer: Oregon). Well, he also informed me of the process. The orchard in Oregon makes a juice concentrate that they ship to Fairweather, who then adds water and ferments and adds flavors to it. They don't even press the apples fresh (yuck!). Every "variety" of cider they have is the exact same base, exact same apples, just with a flavor added. And they all basically taste the same. There is nothing complex or unique about this cider. Try a cider from New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, or Washington State where different varieties with in the same brand will mean different apples, fermenting processes, and different flavors. Skip. read more

The employees are friendly, the place is simple and clean, and the ciders are delicious. I tried a flight of seasonal flavors, and I loved them all--even flavors I don't normally enjoy, like grapefruit. My favorites were hands down the Milky Fruity and Fuckboissen, though. Try it with some pizza from the food truck next door! read more

Awesome dry cider. We tried 7 ciders and loved them all. Favorite: Tejano - it has peppers but isn't spicy and you could easily drink it all day. We chatted with one of the owners the whole time we were there. He was very nice, knowledgeable, and laidback. Highly recommend! read more
