Honorable Mentions: Minnesota-Made Ciders
While not made in Minneapolis, these Minnesota-made ciders can be found all over the city in bottles, drafts, and at liquor stores Milk and Honey Ciders has a taproom in St. Joseph, Minnesota, and produces dry, highly aromatic and tannic ciders. Made just a couple of hours north in Duluth is Wild State Cider, whose mission is to celebrate and protect what’s wild, and Duluth Cider, which explores everything from traditional fermentation to experimental techniques. South of Minneapolis you’ll find Loon Juice, which uses only Honey Crisp apples and Keepsake Cider, an organic, family owned orchard that uses spontaneous fermentation.
