If I could only go to one brewery for the rest of my life, I would go to Seed + Stone. Being (mostly) gluten free, I really appreciate their products. Their dry ciders are delicious, and they have converted me into a Mead lover! Who knew mead could be dry? Even their sweeter ciders and meads strike the right balance and are not stomach-churning sugar water like most of the other local cideries around. I often go with friends who are beer drinkers and wish they had a few more beer options for them, but their new cocktails have helped round out their offering. The taproom itself could use some updates, but overall, it is clean and inviting. What has left the biggest impression on me is how much the person behind the bar can contribute to the atmosphere. I have been lucky enough on my last few trips to have been waited on by Matt. They have always had good bartenders, but Matt is standout. He is engaging and funny and I constantly have to ask him "What song is this" whenever his playlist is on. Overall, I highly recommend trying Seed + Stone and don't be afraid to try the Mead, it's really quite good! read more

Great service and good cider, what else can you ask for? We stopped on a Saturday afternoon around 4 PM and it was busy, but definitely could find a spot to sit. I love that they over a flight with everything on it. Be careful though, the lowest alcohol content was 6.4%. Flavors are interesting and different, with some classics throwing in. I love that they do season flavors and some that you wouldn't imagine mixing the flavors together. Definitely a must try. read more

Stopped at the Hungerford for their second Saturday market (which, btw GO, it was amazing) and discovered this "hidden to us" little gem of a cidery! We were browsing local artists shops outside and noticed people sitting outside with flights of some sort of delicious looking beverages so we popped in to check it out! The atmosphere inside is so COOL and industrial, with high topped long tables and stools to sit on and enjoy some crisp cider drinks! We (husband and I) each did a flight of ciders, and to my delight the whole menu of options are more on the dry side. Bonus for me as I'm not into sweet ciders or wines. They also had a few beer options as well, if cider is not your thing! All in all, such a great experience, supporting local and enjoying tasty ciders! We will be back and hopefully can snag an outdoor table during the summer! read more

Comparatively speaking - very impressive selection of ciders. Fun flavors - and the flight if 10 is quite the indulgence but well worth it! Staff could not have been nicer. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommended - a "must see" if you like cider. read more

My husband and I dropped in for one drink on a whim and I was thoroughly impressed!! I'm not a huge cider person but the one I got was a step above. I got "This Shit is Bananas" and it was SO good - just the right level of sweetness, perfect amount of banana flavor and a delicious mix of autumnal spices. I am looking forward to coming again and trying more ciders. Also, the environment was great. A couple lowkey games to play, relaxed environment, friendly staff. read more

Small location that hosts events frequently. Really enjoyed their ciders. Pretty cool atmosphere. Overall great experience. They have a great product, enjoyable atmosphere and put energy into getting people together with their events. The service was friendly as well. No complaints, I would definitely return.

I love seed + stone cidery! They don't use any artificial ingredients in their cider, which really shows in the flavors. They are all bold, and taste like the fruit they are flavored with. All of them were excellent and they had a large variety (I think 12 at the time we went). Nice outdoor area as well and friendly staff. I will definitely be back! read more

We sampled their 3 ciders. The IPA smells wonderful: sweet and fruity. The pomme blanc is like a light crispy white wine with subtle nuanced apple notes. The traditional has a fermented character. All of them are pleasantly dry and not acidic. The sample size is 4 oz, $2.75-$3, and standard size, 6 oz, is $6-$8 (hope I remember them correctly). Parking is plenty and the space feels open and has high ceilings. I forget the ask them if it's okay to bring food there though. It doesn't seem like they offer good and on the website it says light snacks available. read more

Stopped in last night to check it out. The space is small with limited seating but has a great vibe. They have a wide variety of ciders on tap ranging from their own to guest taps. I ordered a flight and wasn't disappointed. They all had such a unique flavor to them, some oaked, one with mezcal. It's definitely a place to check out. read more

I made my first trip to Seed + Stone today. The cider and mead were excellent. That was only the beginning. I went for a tasting, and found a wonderful bar experience, in addition to the tasting. What I found was a very cool urban tavern, with a knowledgeable and fun staff and and inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. I've been to a lot of wineries and cideries. This one is really special. read more

We came this weekend for their monthly BYOB event... Bring your own baby!! An adult event that is inclusive of children AND alcoholic beverages-- praise be! My friends and I all had a good time, the ciders were really fantastic. They have many dry options with innovative flavors. I loved the dry sour fruit cider and their new flavor that tasted like mezcal! They also have really good popcorn. There were a lot of parents and babies, so no rooms for strollers. Lots of parking spaces close to the entrance. I really liked that when I cashed out the owner asked for any feedback or suggestions which I thought was really thoughtful and prideful for her business. Keep doing what you're doing! read more

Met the owner and tasted a mead and a cider flight. What a delightful place! Friendly service and unique and delicious beverages.

A surprisedly wide range of cider tasting here. Like the open environment here, lots of sky light. My favor is wood aged. read more
