Number 12 Cider

This place is an awesome hang out spot. They do trivia on Tuesdays (I believe), and their variety of seating areas and things to do were much appreciated. Definitely try the upstairs.

My family surprised me with my 50th birthday party here! It was amazing! We will be going back again and again! Super cool space, great service, delicious ciders, and everyone had a great time!

Absolutely gorgeous building with a variety of table and comfy chair seating indoors, as well as picnic tables and fire pits outside. The cider was very delicious too, with helpful descriptions to ensure that you order exactly what you want. We will be coming back.

If you are interested in trying or are a cider connoisseur, you definitely need to try Number 12. They have an excellent range of ciders from dry to sweet with excellent flavors. Plus, they offer higher percentage cider wines which are fantastic. Location near a light rail station and Target Field makes it ideal for those who don't want to drive and catch a Twins game.

So here's the thing...

I am a craft beer person. Through and through. I have traveled to many breweries across a few countries but only a handful of cider houses.

That said, this place is interesting. The ciders are hands down some of the best I have ever tried. Especially with the wide variety in which they have to chose from. With my craft beer background, I understand different beers, now I understand and can appreciate different ciders.

What did I love about this place? The atmosphere, the look, the other people who were around and of course the ciders.

What I didn't like was the staff. They were not helpful in anyway when it came to assisting with flavor profiles or anything related to the ciders themselves. They also were clearly not enjoying their jobs.

I do not know if their attitude was isolated to my one experience or if they are being unpaid fairly or what could have caused the 1/10 rating for a staffing experience.

All that said, I would go back through and through. So long as the atmosphere is there and the ciders continue to pour in those amazing flavors.
