Mad Moon Cider Taproom (Craft Beer & Brewery in Columbus OH)

Mad Moon Cider Taproom in Columbus, Ohio refuses to let tradition sit still. The team whips up tiny, unfiltered batches of hard cider using only fresh Ohio apples, then tosses in imaginative flavour twists that would make a perfume maker blush. Whether you’re a seasoned cider snob or someone who thinks “hard” refers to a workout, the ever‑changing vintages promise bold, tantalising profiles that keep you guessing with each sip.

The taproom itself feels more like a private club than a commercial showcase, boasting nine gluten‑free ciders on tap and a weekly roster of seasonal specials (the owners—long‑time friends with a penchant for experimentation—rotate flavours like a DJ spinning records). Service reflects genuine enthusiasm, and the open‑food policy means you can pair a rogue raspberry‑infused ale with anything from greasy wings to artisanal cheese. It’s an intimate setting where passion shines through every glass, offering an experience worth tracking down for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship without the pretentious fluff.
