From dry to sweet to fortified cider, Number Twelve Cider serves plenty of the fermented apple beverage to please plenty of taste buds, all in a spacious, cozy, yet fun location. We visited to grab a cider here and pizza from Little Tomato, a food truck (permanently?) parked just outside the main entrance, prior to a Twins game. The cider-tender helpfully described a couple of the ones we had questions about. In the end, I ordered the Jamberry, a combination of sweet and tart at 6% ABV. It was the perfect match with the pizza we ordered. Although our time was short due to the game start time, I could see easily hanging out here for a while. MISC Darts are located inside and cornhole outside. Private areas can be reserved for events. Parking seemed to be limited to street parking and requires downloading an app (unless you already have it on your phone). Target Field is a short walk from here. read more

While looking for less crowded places to chill with a group to celebrate a bday on a Saturday night, we ended up adventuring to here. It was maybe an hr/hr & a half before close. There wasn't many people here at all. I was really impressed by all the decor and nice rooms to sit in. We ended up hanging out on the patio since we did have a bigger group & it was nice out. They offered a nice variety of ciders as well as a few slushies (even a peach ring flavored thc one). I don't recall the flavor I got (Maybe margarita?) but it was good! They also had board games as well which is nice. read more

Number Twelve Cider is a great little cidery amongst all the breweries in Minneapolis. Their outdoor space is great and includes some yard games for entertainment. Their sister company, Little Tomato Pizza, is also onsite and goes great with the cider. They have a wide variety of ciders and offer flights. Although pets aren't allowed inside, their outdoor patio is pet-friendly, which is always something we're looking for. read more

The location for this cidery couldn't be any better. It is within a block of so many other locations to visit and breweries. We went to 4, all within a block and a half of each other. Walking up, you can tell this is a newer development in town, much like the rest of the city, and they had a food truck right outside that I believe was pizza. Inside, first impression was super cute and well designed and though early on a Friday had a good amount of people that just continued to grow as time slightly moved on. I will say the ordering process was less than welcoming if I am being honest as we kinda felt like we were bothering the guy behind the counter, and he felt snobbish and really disengaged to offer any information or suggestions. Okay, we get it. It is cider, but your job is to sell your product, so maybe at least talk to your patrons. We ordered the sweet flight along with the two extras they had on the menu that were listed as sweet, but honestly, they were all more on the dry side. I love ciders and definitely have had more than my share of sweet and dry, and these were dry with one exception that both Ben and I "fought" over because it was the best out of the 6 we ordered. Would I go back, for sure, to try whatever is new on the menu the next time I am in Minneapolis, but it would only be to try the new items. read more

Came to Number 12 for a Pure Barre pop up and greatly enjoyed my time. The class was hosted on the outside patio before opening hours and then we enjoyed a drink after class while sitting outside. I tried the refreshing berry slushy and it was such a nice treat on a hot summer day. Service was quick! we sat outside, but the inside looked fun with many great seating areas. read more

On a really cold, chilly day in Minneapolis I wanted to check out this Cider house. There's a bunch of similar places but this was the only place I wanted to visit. The sweet Cider Flight I got was great, they really pack a punch too their really well made. The atmosphere is really cozy as if you're at a fancy cocktail bar. If you happen to be hungry, they happen to have a food truck outside and you can order your food and they'll deliver inside. Staff was friendly, great merchandise and would love to come back and visit some of their upcoming events. read more

Super cute place. Friend and I stopped by on a brewery hopping night, and I'm glad we did! Bartender was friendly and super helpful. I'm gluten Free and was really excited about all of the options they had. They've got a really nice seating area inside, very cigar lounge feel to it. But their little patio space is really cozy, lots of picnic tables and I think 4 sets of bags. read more

Wonderful place! I had a speed dating event at a nearby brewery I won't mention the name of... been there before, and I knew the beer was incredibly "mid" as the kids would say. Stopped here to have a drink first. I had the Jupiter cider, and it was delicious! I also sat down and ordered a pizza from Little Tomato. You can scan a code to order and they will deliver it to your table. I loved the vibe of Number Twelve Cider. It was cute, not overly bright, not too noisy. Very relaxing to go alone or with friends. I will be back to sample more of the menu, because the offerings were all intriguing. read more

Number 12 Cider has been a North Loop staple for me since 2020! Their outdoor patio, fire pits & hot beer were perfect during the pandemic when we were trying to stay outdoors. Now that we're back to the usual & enjoying the sunshine - I still love Number 12! The location is perfect for a brewery/pub crawl, being right near some other awesome spots like Inbound, Stormking, Fulton & First Draft. They have a free parking lot setup too, so you don't have to worry too much about meter parking. The environment here is great! They have cornhole & picnic tables outside - along with their delicious Little Tomato woodfired pizza food truck. In the colder months/at night, their fire pits are the perfect vibe. The inside has a very cozy, wooden feel - while also having some fun photogenic decorations and string lights. Only downside is it can get very loud and warm if a lot of people are present - at a young professionals of Minneapolis event tonight, it was very hard to hear our guest speaker and we had a few people accidentally walk through our reserved space. But overall, worth being a regular North Loop brewery to stop at! As someone who loves cider, I love that it's all there is to offer! There's everything from dry to sweet, including some delicious specialty cider. If it's your first time, I highly recommend trying either their sweet or dry flight to get a taste of all the offerings! If you're looking for something more fun and exciting - their slushees are delicious and definitely a summer staple of the twin cities. This time around I tried their Cupp-A-Joe, which is coffee infused and a collaboration with Corner Coffee! I was delightfully surprised at how well a sweet cider went with the subtle taste of coffee - almost like a sweet espresso shot. Definitely recommend for those looking for something unique! Overall, I'll continue to regular at Number 12, and love seeing them switch up and add some new concoctions! read more

This place is amazing! We had a blast while we were here. The bar tender knows so much about the cider, it was great speaking with him. There is something here for all cider drinkers, including some cool interesting ciders that are off the beaten path. Our whole experience was great and if I'm ever back in Minneapolis I will 100% go back. read more

I love Number 12! Great cider, great pizza, and lots of places to sit. I went for trivia and they've really up-ed their game. They have better timing with their questions, and I found their questions to not be too niche as to feel impossible (as some places where I've gone to trivia do). I also love all of their cider, you truly can't go wrong. As for parking, the lot just down the street is open for Number 12 parking! It says permit, but on Number 12's social they posted a while ago that folks can park in the lot (at least I do whenever I go after dinner time). read more

My friends and I still go to trivia every other week but they have updated their menu. In addition to their variety of ciders, they have added some slushes for the summer months. They also have an awesome patio for the warmer months. Weather depending trivia is sometimes moved outside on Wednesdays. They also have a nice bags set up outside. As always the staff is super friendly and will answer any questions you may have. If you're looking for a new trivia spot or just a good place to hang out definitely recommend checking it out! read more

A fun place to get some ciders and eat pizza. The pizza is ordered outside and we sat at a picnic table. Our favorite was The Turk, a unique tasting pizza with egg! There was also indoor seating available and we ordered drinks at the counter. A casual hang out spot and service was quick and easy. read more

I finally got around to trying this local spot, and I am so glad I did! They have lots of cider options including a dry flight and a sweet flight if you can't decide on just one! Their space is also huge and includes fire pits outside, so I felt very COVID safe. I am so glad they have a pizza truck! I found the pepperoni pizza a bit underwhelming, but the Pyro was SOOO yummy. I definitely plan to order it again when I return because it tastes amazing and is a pretty unique option. All of the ciders I tried tasted amazing, and I think their options are diverse enough for anyone to find something they'd enjoy! I did feel like they were less carbonated than other ciders I try, but that is more of an observation than a complaint! Parking was a little challenging, so just budget a few extra minutes for that when you visit! read more

We recently were in Minneapolis for a wedding and it is my husband and I's favorite city. We went to Number Twelve Cider for a gathering the day after the wedding and had so much fun. We tried so many different ciders and bought goodies to bring back with us. We have added it to our list for when we go back next year. It is a great place to hang out during a nice summer day! read more

I have been meaning to get to this cidery for a long time and I finally had a reason when I was seeing a show at a local venue. This is the perfect place to grab a quick bite and drink before heading to a show nearby. They have a huge variety of ciders to choose from or - if you can't choose - flights! I got the sweet flight and, though not super sweet, was delicious. It was the perfect amount of each cider and in total was a great pairing with the wood-fired pizza from their permanent pizza truck. I got a Margherita pizza from the pizza truck. The sizes are personal sizes, or for two people if you barely eat. Something I wasn't sure about - the truck will give you a number and you can go inside the cidery and they will bring your pizza in. You can also order from the tables by scanning a QR code! Unfortunately it was a rainy fall day, so we couldn't enjoy the outdoor seating. Even though a nice employee was setting up one of their many fire pits. I would love to return here in the summer when I can enjoy the outdoor seating and maybe catch an event there. Only 4 stars because, overall, I felt the food and drinks were a little subpar. I wasn't amazed by anything I ate or drank. But the prices were very good (~$12 for the flight and $10 for a pizza). read more

This was my second visit here and I must say I came out liking the ciders a lot more than the first. I took my friend who is completely gluten free so it was the perfect place for us to meet up. We both enjoyed the ciders and then got a pizza from the truck outside. I had heard amazing things about this pizza from others and not only was it gluten free which I was hesitant on but it was GREAT. We got the margarita pizza and it was gluten free, it came out quick, fresh, warm, and very tasteful. The cider I had (can't remember the name) was a lot better tasting than my first visit. I'm not a huge cider person (reasoning for the 4 stars and not 5) but this is a great stop to add on your list when hopping around the north loop. Would be a great first spot since they have a few drinks that are similar to a mimosa as well! Happy to see this place doing well - it is so adorable inside, makes me want to hang out there all day! read more

We went to Number Twelve with a friend from out of town. I got the Cider Old Fashioned and I thought it was really good and I would definitely order it again. Our table also got the Dry Flight and Sweet Flight. Number Twelve has a lot of board games to enjoy while you talk and they have a Pizza Truck called Little Tomato that has really good gluten free pizza and cheese bread. I didn't get the pizza or cheese bread this time but I have in the past. The ambiance is nice and relaxing with pretty string lights throughout. The staff is really friendly and there's plenty of parking along the streets and an adjacent parking lot (open after business hours). read more

Lovin the vibe. I'm from west Minnetonka and just came upon this place on a motorbike ride. Outside there is a trailer that's serving fired pizza. This pizza is delicious. It's a thin crust but not so thin that it's all crunchy. The crust is fluff and crispy. Pepperoni is the best. Big place this is. And next door is another brewery for beers. read more

Great spot with a great variety of ciders. You can get the suggested cider flight, or build your own for an extra $2 or so. They also had popcorn for purchase. The taproom is a good size and is broken down into segments (there was a stage in one of the areas with a live band the night we went, and a more private area with darts). They had a lot of seating indoors, but there was also seating outdoors with fire-pits and a pizza food truck. read more

This is an incredible spot in the North Loop. The outdoor patio space is dog friendly and offers a lot of shade. There are shared tables for guests with a food truck as well. There's also a nice space to play cornhole for two groups. The inside of the brewery is incredible, with lots of different spaces to hang out. The seating is all cute, full of character, and comfortable. You can choose a more intimate space upstairs in the loft or opt for something more social and open in the main floor. There are games available to play as well. Today, they had 3 different slushees and I tried the currant/watermelon. It was very flavorful fora slushee and was a smooth texture. They had about 20 different ciders and a few popcorn options as well. read more

I was really impressed by the interior and exterior of Number Twelve Cider. My complaint with many breweries and cider houses in the Twin Cities is they always feel a bit cold or austere. Number Twelve did not have this issue at all! There are big comfy chairs and plush booths throughout. The patio had a green space where people can play bags/corn hole. There were patio heaters *win!* The cider list was lengthy, with a variety of drinks to chose from. There was a food truck (I believe it's there consistently) serving wood fire pizza. The pizza was pretty dang good (much better than a lot of brewery food I've had) and reasonably priced. Overall, I had a friendly bar tender and a positive experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

So, you grow up in Minnesota and your parents make the annual trip to the Apple orchard. It's one of the highlights of your entire year. You get Apple donuts, Apple rollovers, Apple cookies, Apple pie, Apple butter, Apple jelly, Apples dipped in caramel, and of course Apple cider. And you smiled. Your childhood is complete and you are happy. Then godammit you have to grow up. You have to work. You have a mortgage. Marriage. Cars. Taxes. Kids. Mowing the damn grass. And God forbid the fucking furnace goes out. It's hell out there, kids. You'll stop and try to remember the things that made you happy as a child. Was it the apples? Yes, I think it was. And then the folks at Number 12 Cider call you and say they have that same feeling all barreled up and ready to dispense into your own personal glass. They'll tell you they put an extra ingredient in there that makes all those bad things seem......not so bad anymore. It's a hard cider. Because life is hard. But it's a little less so with a Number 12 Cider in your hand. read more

Really fantastic cider selection showing what different apples can do. Awesome patio as well. The bartender (Greg? I think it was Greg...) was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Great spot to discover great cider. If you're not a cider fan (especially if you think it's too sweet) check it out. They'll change your mind. read more

Number Twelve Cider is a cool, spacious cidery in downtown Minneapolis, close to Target Field. We got their dry flight ($12) and generally enjoyed it, though the Voyage option is by far the driest and the best cider they have. I personally didn't like the others, though my girlfriend and her friend did. None of these hold a candle to the out-of-this-world ciders at Social Ciderwerks in NE Minneapolis, but I'm glad Number 12 is around. Little Tomato Pie, a pizza truck, happened to be parked at the cidery, so I got a vegan pizza from them ($13 + $1 for Follow Your Heart cheese) and thought it was pretty good. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night for trivia and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. I'm a huge fan of ciders and not a beer drinker at all, so this is right up my alley. The interior is spacious and very hip - this isn't a bar, but almost has a coffeehouse vibe. They had a dozen drinks on the menu (not sure if this is coincidence), and we had their Sweet Flight of four sweet ciders and finished up with a hot toddy. All in all, they have eight different ciders on tap and another four of their drinks involve mixers. I like sweet ciders and I'd say two of the four on the flight I liked but didn't love, and the other two I wouldn't drink again. One was a semi-dry which was an odd inclusion on a "Sweet" flight, but looking at the menu they only have three "sweet/semi-sweet" ciders. There's no food, but they seem to be partnered with a pizza truck outside such that you can order and they'll bring the pizza in to you and you can eat it inside with no problems. Overall I loved the atmosphere and could see myself hanging out here. I wish they had a cider that blew my socks off but they have a couple that I'd be fine nursing. read more

Enjoyed Wednesday night trivia here. Good selection of ciders to choose from & frozen ciders which are great for summer.

Quick evening out to try a cider shop on our visit this week. It's a cute little place. Staff was great. Just... they didn't have options to fill growlers. Huge cider no go to the hubby. They did sell 16oz cans, but that's not what we went for. Losing out in some sales we feel. Now the cider... we go for dry ciders. We both felt it was a bit lacking. Dull. Out of what we tried the black market was good. It was a SD. The helix was something I liked. It was refreshing but VERY light. read more

One here on a Saturday night after the twins game. The place was bustling!! There are a lot of people and a fair number of kids. There was an absolutely incredible DJ that was spinning and playing instruments at the same time. He was incredible! Was able to sit on to comfortable chairs so I could see the DJ and also enjoy many different siders. The Siren and the Barrel 44 or my two favorites. We had the sweet flight and I liked two out of the four. I didn't think their flights were too pricey but their individual beers are kind of expensive in my opinion. Lots of people were getting pizzas from the food truck outside. They looked really good and since I'm still trying not to eat dairy- so cheese on a pizza isn't part of my current options. I would definitely go to this place again especially if I was at a Minnesota sporting event! read more

We were really excited to try a local cidery when we stayed in Minneapolis this weekend. Number 12 did not disappoint! We tried the sweet flight and loved it. We especially liked Trilogy and Cortship. The bartender was nice and explained everything to us and the guests next to us, so we learned a lot about the company. We were thinking of trying the pizza but had to quickly leave to meet with our Airbnb host. The only thing I was disappointed with is that they don't have any way of taking cider home. She said they will be getting growlers in the next few weeks, but we were hoping to buy some bottles or cans to bring home. Maybe next time. read more
