New cideries are popping up at a rapid pace these days, which makes cider drinkers extremely happy! Two that are on our radar include Original 13 Ciderworks in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia and Wild Hare Cider in Bluemont, Virginia.

Wild Hare Cider can also be found in locations outside of the tasting room, which was opened in 2015; look for updates on Facebook. 33735 Snickersville Tpke., Bluemont, VA; (703) 216-8630
