Cedar Draw Cider (Craft Beer & Brewery in Buhl ID)

Cedar Draw Cider sits in Buhl, Idaho, where a husband‑and‑wife duo churns out 4,000 gallons of hard cider a year with the same obsessive precision a watchmaker applies to his tools. Emily is the mastermind behind the fermentations, coaxing local fruit into complex, balanced drinks that make even the most ardent wine snob raise an eyebrow in approval. Her flagship, the Sour Empress, is brewed from plums harvested on the original homestead – a cheeky nod to heritage that tastes anything but nostalgic.

John runs the tasting room like a well‑rehearsed orchestra, turning it into a social hub where strangers become friends over a pint of something decidedly un‑pretentious. The space is cozy enough to lull you into complacency, yet lively enough that each pour feels like a fresh discovery. Every glass tells a story, and the owners are happy to share the anecdotes that birthed each quirky flavour profile.

What makes Cedar Draw stand out is its commitment to local ingredients, a menu that spans the gamut from tart to sweet, and a palpable community spirit that makes you feel you’re part of something bigger than a simple drink. In short, it’s craftsmanship with a grin and a splash of generosity.
