Reverend Nat's Hard Cider

CJ P

Cider nouveau with a nod to traditional flavors and apple and pear varieties. Attentive, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Rev Nat's will convert strict beer drinkers into cider lovers and cider lovers into Rev Nat's zealots. This is a haven for the GF crowd who are tired of the same old boring GF alcoholic drinks. Expect collaborative brewings, celebratory events, and easily recognizable (old world apothecary style simple black and white) branding with occasional one of a kind artwork on the labels. Brewer and owner Rev. Nat West is a madman on a mission, to win over your love for his cider. He's got mine. Cheers, Christopher at PortlandBeer.

On our way through town, this cool looking establishment caught my eye and so we popped in for a cold one. I assumed they would have cider and beer, not the case--cider only! This did not keep us from having an excellent experience. The bartender was incredibly nice and helped us navigate the cider experience with success, and also gave us some great dinner recommendations. It is also the kind of place that is really plugged into their community and has some fun events. Can't wait to return, try some different ciders, and meet some nice new people!

I've been trying to get here since it opened, and this is my first trip. I met the Reverend at the Portland Cider Festival several years ago when his Revival and Hallelujah Hopricot we're just about ready to hit commercial production. The Hopricot was my first hopped cider and it blew my mind. I've had several since and it's really my favorite. I think the apricot balances the hops really well. If you are new to hard cider, you can have some wonderful, approachable ciders, and if you're a cider veteran, you will find many choices to excite you. The Tent Show ciders will blow your mind. The Two Year Aged Wooden Hellfire I'm drinking right now should probably be called a pommeau (like Calvados) except that he kept it just under liquor levels of alcohol. They are interesting and even weird. (A previous one had a leg of lamb soaking in it during fermentation, and there's a strawberry rhubarb pie one right now that involves whole pies, crust and all.) Come here, drink and spread the word.

If you like cider, this is the place to go. And if your a beer drinker it’s still well worth the trip. The Rev definitely pushes the envelope and opens your mind to what a cider can be.
