Love this place. Jon and Diana brew dozens of varieties of ciders and meads, with 12 on tap at any given time. The ciders are mostly on the dry side, many with subtle flavors added while brewing. It's more like a sophisticated beer than the sickly-sweet (and near-undrinkable!) ciders you can buy by the can in stores. My personal favorites are Green Fairy (McIntosh apples brewed with absinthe botanicals) and One Night in Marrakech (McIntosh again, with mint). Absolutely the best local brewery for people like me with celiac disease or who are gluten intolerant.
The indoor space is cute and cozy -- feels almost like a speakeasy. Nice little back patio too. For regulars like me, I strongly recommend the Cider Club, a monthly subscription that comes with added discounts and gifts. It's a little hard to find -- if you haven't been, look at the map on their website. There are occasionally food pop-ups and events, so be sure to check their IG or FB for updates.
Broad Street Cider is a great change from the open warehouses that are most breweries in New Orleans. The ciders and meads are thoughtfully put together in a clean and comfortable taproom. The ciders are not overly sweet, and tastings / flights are a good way to match what you like.
In addition to the taproom there are to go portions and a cider club for bulk or consistent ordering. Not to be missed.
I decided I wanted cider for my birthday. We let Jon know via email that there would be 8-10 of us and we would be bringing some Girl Scout cookies. He and Diana whipped up a pairing with their ciders currently offered and it was amazing. The proprietors make everyone feel like old friends. I couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate another year with friends!
