*(4.7) Awesome little place in west Duluth. I walked here from downtown and it was maybe forty minutes, which means you don't need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on the exorbitant cabs in town. Rant aside, very good ciders with a strong selection, including NA and THC. Maybe a tiny bit overpriced, though that's the trend these days, I guess. Ironically, I felt their takeaway ciders to be reasonably priced. Wild State is sitting nearby another cidery, two breweries, a distillery, with a handful of nice dining options. No offense to the others, get the pizza here and thank me later. This will be a mainstay of my seasonal visits. read more

Wild State Cider - Great Options - Cideries Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Wild State Cider was one of the stops during our Duluth pub crawl, and it's always a place I enjoy coming back to. The indoor space has a great atmosphere, and I was excited to see they added Wrecktangle Pizza, even though it happened to be closed during our visit. We still got to enjoy a flight of ciders along with their popular soft serve, which was the perfect treat. The staff was welcoming, and the overall vibe makes it easy to spend a couple of hours here. It's still one of my favorite cider spots in Duluth and definitely worth a visit. read more

Such nice people here! I ordered a flight that focused on their specialty ciders, as many in their regular line up are available in southern Minnesota where I live. I liked the whole flight, and I think the grape was my favorite. Of course, the ciders were great with pizza. read more

We had the best time at Wild State! We grabbed a couple flights to try their seasonal ciders and they were all so good! With flights, you can take your paper back to the bar for a discount on any to-go cider purchase. We especially liked the hot mulled cider. Our bartender was awesome and when he heard we had just gotten married, he gave us a soft serve to share. Yum! We ended up buying some cider to take home and some swag, too. Will definitely be back! read more

We loved the vibe and the cider was awesome. Bought some to bring home. Highly recommend the hot cider on a winter day!

This place is so clean and looks brand new. There is lots of seating inside and out. The staff was friendly and helpful. We tried a flight to see what we would like. The blackberry mint was a really pleasant surprise. We also like the hazy pink pineapple. The to go business is constant and they keep the shelves stocked.

A must-visit cidery if you're visiting Duluth! We made an impromptu trip to Duluth and saw Wild State Cider on our drive into town. This was a great find after a short hike. There was outdoor seating that was dog-friendly. I loved the ciders as they weren't too sweet and had a good variety. My favorite ended up being the cider slushy! We got caught in a random thunderstorm and the staff didn't mind at all that we brought our two dogs inside the bright, upbeat ski resort-styled taproom while we waited out the storm. There were multiple snacks available that were low-key great bar food and even a couple of gluten-free options. We had a great time at Wild State Cider! read more

We had the Hazy Pink Pineapple from Wild State Cider. Not a bad cider at all, it was solid and decent. The haziness comes from it being unfiltered which is an interesting approach for a cider. The cider was sweet because it involved pineapple and I lean towards dryer ciders but I liked it well enough. There is enough tartness to it and it's a light bodied cider so it doesn't feel like the cider is too heavy handed with the sugar. read more

Wild State Cider - The Hazy Pink Pineapple from Wild State Cider! - Cideries Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

There are only a few places that I'll seek out for cider, as it's not one of my top alcoholic drinks, and one of those spots is Wild State! Located on the Superior Street strip, you shouldn't skip this one! Parking is on the street, but this spot is far enough down, that you can usually get pretty close! The interior is delightful: open, modern, and fun! I mean, where else can you sit on a ski lift turned into a cidery seat! Elite tip: they have an upstairs loft that is a great little hideaway! The cider itself is awesome! They have plenty of staples, seasonal choices, and collaborations with local breweries. On our most recent Fall trip, we sipped on the Pumpkin Pie cider, which was everything my little basic heart desired. In a city filled with craft breweries, take a break and get your serving of fruit with a cider from Wild State! read more

We stopped here while passing through Duluth on a road trip. They have a cute outdoor patio area and inside the space is spacious with 200 living plants on the walls - so cool. They have a huge selection of flagship and rotating ciders and we of course got the $14 flight for 5 choices. I got raspberry hibiscus, hazy pink pineapple, berry jam, peach basil, and strawberry flower power! So pretty and delicious. We also got a creemee soft serve with black raspberry and salted maple syrup twist! So delicious!! The employees were also so nice. Wish this place was closer to home but glad we stopped by! read more

My friend and I are not big cider fans but this was next to another brewery (that was busy) and we wanted to be inside because it was cold. The bartender was super friendly and answered all of our questions about the cider. We split a flight and all of them were good. Some I liked better than others but all of them I would drink again (and like I said, I'm not a cider person). They also have a cool logo and the vibe is super fun. If I lived in Duluth I would definitely come often! read more

Good cider, good service, and good atmosphere. If you like cider this is a good place to go!

Absolutely love this place! It's a must-stop whenever I'm in Duluth and have some time to swing by as I love their ciders and ice cream, which is a unique combo that most breweries/cideries don't have! It has a fun ski-lodge type atmosphere with a dog-friendly outdoor patio as well. They have an upstairs area, board games, cool plants, cute merch, and even a ski lift that you can sit on indoors :) I had the blueberry mint cider and it was quite yummy, as well as an interesting combo of mint and salted maple ice cream that paired very well surprisingly! The ice cream was probably my favorite. Wild State also has flights available at a very good price! read more

Wild State is a fun afternoon spot in West Duluth! They had 7 ciders available when I stopped by over Labor Day weekend, and I was able to sample 5 of them by ordering a flight for $11. My favorite on the flight was by far the Ginger Peach, but all of them were enjoyable. They also have hard and soft pretzels available as a snack, and the soft pretzel comes with an incredible apple butter dip!! The space is very trendy and open concept which I loved! There are lots of picnic tables outside on the patio, and a cute loft area indoors with open seating and plants everywhere. The main level where you order also has a little ski lift chair to take photos on, as well as a merchandise area full of cute stuff! It is definitely a great spot to find a souvenir or support a local business by treating yourself to a cute baseball hat or sticker!! read more

Wild State Cider - Yummy. Cider And cheese flight! - Cideries Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

I worked at a brewery for 2 years, have tried a lot of beers/ciders. Takes a lot to make me happy. The flight was 5 ciders for $12. They had a great selection for that price. These ciders were refreshing. They tasted clean. Nothing was too heavy. They had a sign stating what items they don't include. Which was nice to know. The cool display of merch to the left of the stand was great. The taproom, on this particular day was opened up via a large garage door which was a lot of light and fresh air. A nice view. There were some good picture areas for us tourists. Lol. This place a is perfect stop if you're in town. read more

OK this place is adorable!!!! We saw it while driving up to camp and decided quickly to stop by on the way down to get a celebratory cider after hiking. We were pleasantly surprised to see they also sell soft serve, so we of courseeee had to get some. I got the twist soft serve (black raspberry and salted maple) and it was AMAZING!!! Exactly what we needed on a hot north shore day. I also got a cider (the raspberry hibiscus) and that was delicious!!! The inside is adorable, and they have great outside seating. They also have lovely merch. I loved this place, definitely a top cidery for me!!! read more

There's nothing not to love about Wild State! It's a cute and super inviting spot- one of my favorite parts is the upstairs and the patio area. I love the variety of ciders they are always offering and I have truly never had a bad cider from here. You also CANNOT go wrong with a flight of 5 ciders for $13! I personally haven't had any of their ice cream (cremees I think it's called) but my SIL always grabs one and just adores them! I appreciated the patience of the staff today as we chose our flights and they also helped me with questions relating to distribution back home at the restaurant I work at. This is always a must stop everytime we visit my SIL!! read more

We were on a weekend trip to the North Shore and have also been working our way through the MN Hop Passport full of great breweries/cideries in the state. So, we decided to stop by all of the Duluth locations and this one was definitely our favorite! Wild State provides the classic ciders, as well as more unique flavors, like the hazy pink pineapple (SO GOOD!). Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! They seem to change their ciders often, so we will definitely be back to try new ones! read more

The spot is one of the best breweries in Duluth. It serves a variety of different ciders and also sells ice cream. I decided to get a flight, and I tried a cranberry cider, a pink pineapple hazy cider, and a couple other fruity ciders. The pink pineapple hazy cider is one of the best siders/beers I have had in a while. The inside of this establishment is very spacious, they have a lot of outdoor seating, and it's really aesthetically cute on the inside. The spot features many great areas for a photo op and a great place for friends and family together. read more

Wild State Cider - Cider flight from wild state cider - Cideries Near Me - Duluth, Minnesota

Great selection, inside and outside seating. Friendly staff, flights available. Cans to go.

Great little cidery in Duluth's Lincoln Park neighborhood. They had 6 ciders on tap when we went. I got a flight, which allowed me to choose 5 ciders, so I wish they had a little more variety. I get that it's a small operation, though, so maybe they will have more variety in the future. The ciders were good and the service was great. They greeted us as soon as we walked in the door and explained the ordering/pick up process right away to make the process more efficient, and we were seated immediately on a Saturday afternoon. The snack options were a nice touch, too. My only recommendations to the business would be to get more comfy seating (chairs with cushions or booths/couches) and have water readily available for guests. I know this might not be doable until after covid. read more

My brother came up to visit from the Twin Cities, he works the biggest brewery and cidery in the cities so he was really curious about what was in Duluth. Wild State was our first stop and, I'd say, our best one! The employees were super cool to him, he tried the cider and loved it and we enjoyed the entire experience and time we were there! The employees were just as fantastic as the cider. I loved their pear cider. It was fun to watch the groups out on the ice rink outside. And for dessert I got the salted maple syrup soft serve - it was the best I've ever had in my life! This is an all around wonderful place! read more

Wild State Cider's drinks are almost as amazing as their logo. My husband and I visited and decided to do two flights so we could try all of the available ciders. Each was so amazing and unique in their own way! I definitely recommend doing a flight or two. The merch is equally amazing though. I picked up two of their glasses (because I can't imagine a cuter logo), and I've used them a million times at home and gotten tons of compliments. It's a great conversation starter. This location is such a gem! read more

The ice cream and cider are an unbeatable combination!! Both are excellently done. Truly the perfect place to stop after a weekend hiking and camping. read more

What a beautiful bright taproom in an old warehouse that's located in Duluth's Lincoln Park neighborhood. We learned that they uses juices from an offsite location that presses the apples for majority of their ciders. The juice is 100% pressed apples which means no added sugars, preservatives, and no concentrates which I think is pretty awesome! I think you can tell the taste from other ciders that don't do that. My favorites: Alpiner which was a dry cider barrel aged in a Vikre barrel. I wanted to take this one at home first! Duluth Peoples cider which they actually pressed on their own with apples from all their Duluth neighbors. We decided to take a growler of Duluth Peoples Cider home since it's limited to the tap room and they worked so hard to make it! We hope to share with friends! Beet Cider which I am not sure if it had a name but it was earth and tasty if you like beets! I loved this so much! Very neat space and I would definitely return! They have tons of apparel too. read more

New and upcoming cidery. The tap room is large with lots of natural light. Friendly staff and atmosphere. They have multiple ciders on tap with helpful guides to let you know how sweet or dry your choice is. Personally, I enjoy dryer ciders. Their Oak Aged an Hoppy are a couple of their dryer ciders that I really enjoyed. The Pear Cider is sweet but not too sweet. And if you forget to eat something before heading over they do have some snacks Overall great time here, looking forward to watching this company grow and to our next visit! read more

So, we stopped at Fitger's Brewery and did a flight, but interestingly enough the only thing that my hubby and I both enjoyed was the Wild State Cider. Off we went to a trip to Wild State Cider.... Our trip to WSC was very enjoyable. We found a seat quickly inside, looked over the menu and then went up to the counter, ordering a cider flight, a bag of pretzels and a hot pretzel. The flight consisted of pear, pineapple, english traditional, triple berry and one other that I don't recall. The dry pretzels were very good, with the fresh pretzel to die for (served with a mustard and an apple jam). Service was very good, very friendly and helpful. We ended up buying sangria, triple berry, semi-dry, a pack of the tea, a shirt and a glass. Cider was very good, we've already finished a couple of cans! We would have stayed longer, as there was a trivia time starting, but we had a boat trip to catch. read more
