Bryant's Cider & Brewery

"Cider’s been a new thing for my better half and me since moving to Central VA. We’ve driven by Bryant’s a host of times. On Saturday, I made a solo journey out because my honey had a book club gathering. Glad I did. There was music, but best of all, I got to try my first dry Virginia cider. It’s way less sweet than some of the “bigger” cideries in the area. But dry doesn’t mean, less viable. In fact, I really dug the dryness, plus there were a couple of sweeter varieties. The Apple Pie was enjoyable with about half the sugar of the sweet ciders that many seem to like. I do not. I enjoyed their Dark Unicorn, which is bourbon barrel-aged and really enjoyable. Oh, the Punkin Spice was a nice fall variety. The rustic barn setting of the tasting room makes for a more comfortable setting when the weather’s cold and outside just won’t work. Great staff that makes you feel welcome on your first visit. Will definitely be back."

"This is a few miles past Devil’s Backbone and it was the prettiest part of our drive. Service was friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed our drinks in outside area with plenty of seating. And who doesn’t love a cool old barn tasting room?! We left with cider, fresh apple butter and apple butter BBQ sauce."

"Not sure how often they have a BBQ vendor set up outside, but it was the best BBQ of my life. Great service and friendly staff! Happy to support this lovely small business."

"What a great addition to the 151 brewery/distillery/cidery community! Visited for the first time the other day and had a wonderful experience. Tucked away about a half mile off Route 151 in an old barn you will find deliciousness. All their ciders are dry and they have an amazing peach seltzer that hit the spot for me. The atmosphere is a true slice of Virginia complimented by a wonderful staff. If you're looking for somewhere peaceful to sit and have a cold tasty dry cider or seltzer I highly recommend Bryant's. Not to mention, they just added an outdoor stage so be on the lookout for live music. Cheers and safe travels!"
