The ciders were enjoyable. Bushy Hill Cidery is located in Clark Farms. They make apple wine, cider, and hard cider from 20 different types of apples they grow. They have 4 types of hard ciders: 1. B.N.D (dry) 2. Ruddy Wild (dry-cranberry) 3.Jump Start (ginger flavored) 4.Bear Essentials (local honey blend-sweet) And 2 types of apple wine: 1. Citron 2. Apple Blossom They serve those in house and you can purchase cans and growlers to go. They also serve local CT craft beer and mimosas. There's a porch, patio, and indoor area to enjoy those drinks. They also serve food from a limited seasonal menu. I look forward to going back to try out some more of their ciders and food!

I got the Jump Start Cider! This is a ginger cider, it is light and invigorating and truly had all of senses ready to go! I love how refreshing and crisp it is! They also sell some locally made soaps, baked goods, and preservatives! I got a large jar of locally made honey. They also have ice cream, which I didn't try this time. I wish there was some live music here. They have board games you can play. I'm not familiar with a lot of Cideries in the area. This one is a lot of fun. Everything about The Bushy Hill Cidery is local and homemade. I cannot wait to go back and try more of their menu.

The building itself has no water, so I'm not sure about restroom or if they exist. The first floor has all this cute locally made stuff, and donuts and pies. Yum. The second floor has a bar right at the top of the stairs (I suspect when they're busy a line may form there) and there are roughly three rooms with different types of tables and chairs to sit in. It IS worth getting a drink with a donut. Just grab napkins for sugar spills. My drink had the face of a Halloween pumpkin, and even though I'm not a drinker, was sweet without being toothaching and fun to drink.

I was in the area on a beautiful day and decided to pop into a new-to-me local spot for a drink…read more That's how I ended up at New England Cider Company. It's tucked inside an old industrial park. If you're not looking closely, you'll drive right past it. Outside, there's a casual setup with a tent, whiskey barrel tables, and some umbrellas, which sounds nice in theory, but the grass really needed a cut. It kind of took away from the whole outdoor vibe. I was planning to sit out there, so that was a bit of a letdown. Inside was a pleasant surprise. It's much bigger than it looks from the outside. The bar is right at the entrance, which made it feel like a high-traffic zone, so not ideal for lingering. There was a private party in the main room, so I headed back outside to enjoy the sun. Now to the cider: I asked for 2 samples and ended up with the cider that I didn't actually choose, but hey, I'm not one to make a fuss so I went with it. The cider I wanted was actually pretty tasty, so I might return just to give the menu another try. You know how some ciders are sweet and yummy? The one I got was the kind that tastes sour but has a higher ABV. Still good, but my goal was sweet and yummy. Service was fine but not overly warm. Nothing bad, just not memorable. Would I go back? Sure, on a really nice day. If they had live music, I'd absolutely give it another shot. There's potential here, especially for cider fans, but it's not quite my go-to yet. They did have a very cool bathroom sink. Points for that!

After the flight, I decided to get a drink. I got the Hurricane which was made with their rum and was exactly what you would expect. My bf got the Boulevardier and really enjoyed it.. he said it had a full and oaky flavor and really enjoyed it. This is definitely a hidden gem.. and I think everyone needs to come here!! The bartender was personable, and definitely did not make us feel uncomfortable. He was funny and was very friendly. There is also not an outdoor are we didn't get a chance to sit in but looked beautiful. The atmosphere itself is warm, welcoming and very clean.
