Long ago in the Northeast, hard cider was more popular than beer—now, it's making a comeback. New York is the second-largest producer of apples in the nation and with renowned cideries from Beek & Skiff Apple Orchards to Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard, there's no better place to taste cider than right here. Some spots are even family-friendly. And don't forget about distilleries! New York has the second-highest number of distilleries in the nation, most of which offer tastings and creative beverage ideas. Sample something new at Buffalo Distilling Company, Catskill Distilling, or others across the state.
