The Merry‑Hearted Cidery in Gladwin, Michigan, is the sort of place that makes you wonder if anyone else has ever thought to put a bit of mischief in a drink. Their lineup includes whimsical names like Heart Throb, a cider that teases the palate with just enough tartness to keep you on your toes. What really sets them apart is the willingness to experiment: they’ll suggest marinating pork for tacos in their crisp, dry blend, turning a simple dinner into a celebration of flavour.
The proprietor wears his pride on his sleeve (or rather, on every barrel), and the result is an immaculate attention to detail that you can taste in every sip. From sugary, honey‑kissed varieties to bone‑dry, bite‑back styles, there’s a cider for every mood, and all of them are brewed with locally grown fruit, proving that home‑grown ingredients can still surprise a seasoned palate.
In short, Merry‑Hearted delivers a broad spectrum of high‑quality ciders without the pretentious fluff, making it a must‑try for anyone who respects a well‑crafted drink.
People enjoyed the ciders at The Merry-Hearted Cidery, describing them as fantastic and phenomenal, with a wide range of flavors to suit various tastes. The tasting room was also praised for its cleanliness and friendly staff, who offered knowledgeable suggestions for cider pairings.
