Ciders From Mars (Craft Beer & Brewery in Staunton VA)

Ciders From Mars sits in Staunton, Virginia, where the streets are as quirky as the drinks they pour. The place has the swagger of a speakeasy and the charm of a retro lounge, all wrapped in historic downtown’s brick walls. Inside, loungy sofas invite you to sink into comfort, while the patio stretches out for both humans and four‑legged companions – because nothing says “relax” like a dog licking the rim of your glass.

The star attraction is the cider flight, a parade of flavours that would make a fruit orchard blush. From crisp apple to exotic ginger‑spiced twists, each pour is a lesson in what fermentation can achieve when ambition meets skill. For those who think plain cider is passé, the Rum Rover cocktail blends the drink with a splash of rum and spices, turning a simple sip into a mini celebration.

Staff here are friendly and knowledgeable (they’ve even taught the staff to spot a good cider from a mile away), ready to explain the subtleties without sounding like they’re delivering a lecture. The vibe is trendy without the pretension, making Ciders From Mars a must‑visit for anyone who appreciates genuine craft.
