Thor's Hard Cider (Craft Beer & Brewery in Stillwater MN)

Thor’s Hard Cider lives on Aamodt’s Apple Farm in Stillwater, Minnesota, where a fourth‑generation family turns freshly pressed, locally grown apples into small‑batch ciders with zero preservatives. The result is a lineup that includes a crisp SEMISWEET and a bone‑dry offering, each bottled with the kind of precision that would make a Swiss watchmaker weep with envy. The taproom welcomes dogs, and the surrounding orchard doubles as a playground for kids and adults alike, complete with a charming barn and seasonal apple‑picking sessions that feel less like a marketing stunt and more like a genuine celebration of Minnesota’s fruit heritage.

The experience is bolstered by a flight menu that encourages daring taste‑testing (and a bit of bragging rights), while the staff—who actually know their yeast from their tannins—guide you through every sip. Evenings swell with live music, and the seasonal bar spills out onto the lawn, serving food and cider al fresco. In short, Thor’s blends tradition and innovation so seamlessly that each glass tells a story, and the story is one you’ll want to hear again and again.
