Far From The Tree

The Best Hard Cider Taprooms in Massachusetts | Eater Boston

"Plenty of family- and dog-friendly space indoors and out makes Far From the Tree a popular Salem stop, as does the cider, which ferments and ages in oak barrels kept at a conveniently low temperature in an abandoned walk-in freezer. Some of the canned ciders emerge as relatively faithful takes on the Massachusetts apples from whence they spring, like juicy Macintosh-based standby Macachusetts, while many other rotating versions highlight added flavors, from Georgia (peaches and tea) to Bug Zapper (lavender, sweetgale, lemon peel, and butterfly pea flower). Bring your own food or plan your visit around a food pop-up to pair with cider slushies, flights, growler pours, and more." - Stasia Brewczynski
