Milk & Honey Ciders

Milk & Honey is one of the real treats in Central MN. Located just a short drive outside of St. Joseph, you will find it. The venue and location are absolutely beautiful and quite quaint. They have a few year-round options that you can't go wrong with, but I love trying their rotating and experimental options the most. You can tell the love and care they put into the product. They typically will have some sort of charcuterie option, and those are a must. I've never had a better apple than here, and it makes sense. The cheese offerings are always delicious as well. In my experience, the service is top tier as well. The kind where they offer suggestions and have conversations with you. Must stop!

When it comes to cider beer and it's popularity now, Milk and Honey brewery in Saint Joseph MN- My opinion hands down, they produces one of the best well balance cider; between flavor and acidity of the apple to its alcohol content. So a well balance cider that Ciera lovers will fall in love. The best thing is that Milk and Honey grows their own apples to create the unique mix of their ciders. They have seasonal ciders and today in season was the tart cherry cider.Ambience is scenic and tranquil. We went on a Sunday afternoon and drink outside to watch the mini hills and apple orchards it's surrounded by.Drinks:Tart Cherry cider : a nice sweet cherry taste with a mild tartness and refreshing fruity flavor. Delicious!Little Dipper cider: more sweetened cider with less alcohol taste and content but the delicious apple taste - this a good beginning intro cider to most people. Delicious! Overall: very beautiful place nestled outside of St. Joseph. Cider comparable is the best cider in my opinion. The place and venue is very beautiful and would love it to see it in the winter.My only critique is that - the brewery is a much smaller brewery than you think. So don't think that is the massive brewery you're are thinking of.

I'll start by pointing out that we aren't cider drinkers. Still, this stop was on the passport and we were within range, so, we stopped.The grounds are BEAUTIFUL. I could come just to wander around and be happy, but that doesn't get the pages stamped, so, in we went.The gal working asked what we like & we told her we don't typically like ciders. We prefer dry wines and dark beers & that the hubs likes his IPAs. She suggested we try the 2 specific ciders the 1 for me based on my wine preferences & the 1 for the hubs based on his love of IPAs. She nailed it. They were both good choices and we each preferred the one she recommended for us, individually. We did sample a sweeter option and, nope, still no go.

A surprise to find in the middle of nowhere...I mean ...Collegeville.The vibe, decor, and service was in point. I got the chai cider which was delicious: not overly sweet, but tart and the warm spices came through. Came when they were doing yoga out on the grass so that was cool to witness. They have board games atop the refrigerator if you want to play outdoors in the rustic but chic environment. Happy solstice indeed!

If I had any musical talent I might write a love song to Milk & Honey Ciders -- they're that good. The Cidery is located about five minutes outside of the town of St. Joseph (I recommend stopping at Krewe and Flour & Flower if you make a stop there). There's ample parking on site, and the inside and outside seating are equally lovely. Be sure to check their social media to see if there are upcoming musical acts or food trucks that will be onsite. But even without either, Milk & Honey is a great place to spend an afternoon.My go to favorite is the Chaga Chai (Aged on chaga, chicory, dandelion, burdock, and licorice along with a blend of aromatic spices, according to their website). They also have a great seasonal pineapple coconut cider in the summer. Their Pommeau (apple brandy blended with juice, which is aged for two years in barrels) makes for a great gift. I have zero complaints, only compliments about Milk & Honey Ciders!

I've been here twice in the summer for a Church of Cash live music event. They have a stage and you can bring your own lawn chair. Super fun outing; cider was delicious, food truck type food tasty! I look forward to an encore performance down the road.

I have now gotten to this wonderful Cidery in St. Joseph twice, and can say that each time was a lovely experience. What a beautiful property! You pull into a long gravel road which has plenty of space for party. At night it was lit up with string lights and a fire was going out on the patio area. The wooden building is charming. Inside the taproom it has a warm and cozy vibe in this wooden tap room. Both times I have been there the service was awesome. They were so nice and great at sharing info about not only their cider but, the ciders they sell from other places. It's really cool! I love Alchemy Ice Cider. Its a cider coming in at 11.5 abv because it's bourbon barrel aged. They freeze the apples which creates more concentrated sugar and higher alcohol content. It is amazing! Since it's cold out they also had a hot cider during our recent stop that was really good!

Cute cidery in Saint Joseph - perfect for a group get together or a solo cider on a nice day. Views of the orchard are the cherry on top of the tasty ciders!

Great spot off the beaten path but close to the city. There is a great variety of ciders whether you like beer or cider there is something for everyone! My personal favorite was the Rose cider sweet but still dry. This venue also has live music and the outside space was very large to accommodate many people.Definitely worth a stop to check out for any cider lover!

I love going out here to enjoy one of their ciders! I also recently went to a baby shower there, and the space was perfect for the event!
