Downeast Cider House

Boston


If you're over the craft-beer craze and ready for the next big thing, you'll find it across the harbor in East Boston. So far, Downeast makes three unfiltered 'core' ciders, plus delicious seasonal variations. Sample five of them when you visit the cider house. Alternatively, book ahead for the free tour and learn a bushel about the cider-making process.

If you find something you like, you can buy growlers and cans to go.
