New England Cider Company

07/11/2026

After a great deal of thought, we've made the difficult decision to close the New England Cider Company tasting room. Our final date of service will be July 19, 2026.

While our tasting room is closing, this is not the end of New England Cider Company. Far from it! Our focus is shifting to manufacturing, allowing us to continue growing and bringing our cider to more people throughout New England. We will continue crafting the hard cider you've come to know and love and you'll still be able to find it at package stores, bars, and restaurants throughout CT, MA and RI.

It's hard to believe we've been in business for 13 years, with the tasting room serving as our home for the past 10. In that time, we've watched first dates turn into weddings, celebrated birthdays and milestones, hosted live music, trivia nights, fundraisers and countless gatherings. More importantly, we've built relationships with an incredible community of customers, neighbors, supporters and friends.

To everyone who walked through our doors, shared a pint, brought family and friends, celebrated life's moments with us or chose to support a small local business - THANK YOU! You made this space more than just a tasting room. You made it a community and we will always be grateful for that.

Like many small businesses, we've had to evolve alongside a changing industry. This decision wasn't easy, but we believe it's the right one for the long-term future of New England Cider Company and our ability to continue making the cider we're proud to share.

This isn't goodbye, it's simply the beginning of a new chapter.

We hope you'll continue to support us by enjoying New England Cider Company's cider wherever you find it. Every purchase helps support our small business and we're incredibly thankful to have you with us for what's next.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the unforgettable memories we made in our tasting room. They will stay with us forever and we are honored that so many of you were part of them.

❤️ Cheers,
Miguel & the New England Cider Company family
