Morgan W.

Excellent Ciders! I love the lay lout of their place as they have plenty of seating inside and outside. Perfect spot to hang with friends or family while enjoying a nice cold Cider. The service was great and the staff really knew their info about all the ciders which was helpful when deciding what to get.

Celeste J.

Great bar. Dog friendly patio which we loved. They have pup cups cheap and water for dogs. Ciders were good, really liked the hazy pineapple and blackberry. Most we sampled were not dry. Service was great! We will be back again.

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. As we sat enjoying our drinks we saw quite a few people choosing things to take out. I love their logo and they had a good variety of items to choose from.

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!

The Hazy Pink Pineapple from Wild State Cider!

Alden C.

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.

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!

Black raspberry and salted maple syrup creemee!

Noelle W.

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!

Tammy W.

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!

Mint and salted maple ice cream swirl with blueberry mint and ginger cider

Shannon L.

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!

Sydney R.

Wild State has a wide range of ciders that anyone would love! My go to cider place when in the Duluth area! My go to is the Hazy Pink Pineapple which is a sweeter cider, but they also have drier and more tart ciders as well! :)

Lindsey H.

GAAAH! This place is so freaking cute! Might be my new fave spot of Duluth. It's walking distance from Ursa Minor brewing co as well as Warrior Brewing. They have a live wall of plants that's so cute and the natural lighting is just so good. Cheers!

Angela C.

I went today for their cider and cheese flight event. So much fun! Everything was delicious and I love that none of their ciders were super sweet. No added sugars makes a big difference. I will be back. Please have more cider and cheese events!

Where are you heading for your next happy hour? Wild state? I thought so. We were impressed with their covid protocols to manage any potential lines, and keep guests a safe distance from staff. You also place a "block" on your table to indicate when it's dirty, which was helpful for us to also know where we could sit! There's plenty of space outdoors, so stop over when the weather is nice. We both got flights and thought the pear cider was the best! read more

Excellent cider, great staff & awesome establishment! I am especially fond of the children's play area, I have never seen this at a brewery before and being that we love to sneak in little dates by going to breweries via craftapped and taking along our 1 year old - this was a super nice addition! The ciders I tried were citrus hop and raspberry hibiscus, I enjoyed both but the citrus hop stood out, especially since I'm typically not a fan of hoppy beers. Due to the knowledgeable staff educating me on the difference between hops in cider vs beer, I gave it a try! read more

I was visiting Duluth for the day and met friends here- loved it! I had the rose beer and loved it but the rest of my friends had the ginger- I wanted to try them all but was only in town for about an hour. I believe they had food later in the evening and I did see snacks for sale. This part of town was not an area you wanted to be in when I was in college here so I am thrilled to see more business coming in! read more

Cider and ice cream!? I was immediately hooked. Just down the street from Duluth Cider, Wild State is also worth a visit. Their atmosphere is very clean and industrial and they had a wonderful outdoor area over Covid. Staff was very nice. They had clear dividers for lines to the bar for social distancing and a restroom available. The ice cream was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the slightly more sour of the ciders. The flavor of the day was a maple that when mixed with the vanilla bean in a twist was a perfect mix of subtle sugary goodness. They did serve a large Belgian pretzel that looked very good but we were full from our drinks. Highly recommend. read more

Man, I don't know what is happening on this side of town, but it's really cool to see the food, beer, cider scene exploding on Duluth. We're having a hard time keeping up! We finally got over to Wild State Cider and enjoyed our visit. The taproom itself is pretty friendly, with seating upstairs and downstairs, plus a dog-friendly patio area. It's got those big garage doors for nice days and it's basically like being at your friend's super cool basement or something like' that. Anyway, the ciders come in a decent variety. I had the ginger, which was good but you would have to really like fresh ginger to like it. There were others varying from sweet to dry, and I found the little descriptors on the plaques at the bar to be useful. They also offer flights, bless them, and snacky things. There's a meat and cheese board and you can get a combo of a meat board plus two ciders for a discount. Seems like a great place for date night or to stop for a quick snack. The guys behind the bar were friendly, answered all of our questions and offered us samples of anything we wanted to try. We got a growler to take home (they are not the big 64 oz ones, I think they are half that, they're cute little baby growlers). Overall a fine stop! read more

No added sugar, no added concentrates, no sorbates. This is Wild State's promise and they delivered with staggering flavor. I sit in their taproom (half in the bag) wondering to myself if I should get a 64oz growler or two 32oz growlers to go. My loved ones will surely be pleasantly surprised when I bring it to the thanksgiving dinner. If you're reading this review and considering stopping in then here's your sign: do it. If your tongue happens to break, and you find yourself not as great a fan as I, then you still have the option to walk to one of the other nearby breweries.
