Snow Capped Cider Taproom & Wine Bar (Craft Beer & Brewery in Cedaredge CO)

At a breezy 6,130 feet on Colorado’s Western Slope, Snow Capped Cider Taproom & Wine Bar turns the simple act of biting into an apple into something almost scientific. The estate draws its juice from more than a hundred apple varieties cultivated in orchards that have been standing for a century at the foot of the Grand Mesa. The result is a line‑up of award‑winning, single‑sourced ciders that taste of the place itself – crisp, clean, and unmistakably Colorado, thanks to a terroir that even the most pretentious sommelier would struggle to describe. Traditional English and French techniques guide every batch, and the range is split into Reserve, Specialty and Small Batch series, each flaunting rarities such as Kingston Black and Ellis Bitter.

The newly opened taproom (doors swung wide in July 2024) isn’t just a shrine to cider; it doubles as a wine bar with a bourbon‑barrel‑aged flight that could make a seasoned connoisseur blush. The taps also showcase Qutori Pinot, and the charcuterie board is a proper accompaniment, not an afterthought. Owners love to chat about their orchard heritage, turning a casual visit into a lesson in craftsmanship while the zero‑waste ethos quietly ensures the only thing wasted is your time. Cheers to that.
