"Having made cider locally since 2016, Guthrie CiderWorks just opened its first tasting room at its Miramar production facility. Run by Horacio and Sara Devoto, who relocated to San Diego from Minneapolis, the small-batch craft cidery is expanding beyond its flagship extra dry cider—which is available in bottles at Neighborhood in the East Village and Level2 at La Jolla’s George’s at the Cove—and its semi-dry cider, which has been on tap at Hamilton’s Tavern and Common Theory Public House. Head cider-maker Horacio focuses exclusively on dry-style ciders that pair particularly well with food, and the tasting room lets him experiment: the opening lineup includes Cherry Zinga (cherry and cardamom) and the raspberry-orange Rubus Citrus, with future releases ranging from coconut-caramel to a mate tea version based on the traditional drink of Horacio’s native Argentina. Sara will be creating infused cider "cocktails" for tasting room guests, the tap room will feature daily food trucks, and initial hours are Thursday 3:30 p.m.–8 p.m., Friday 3:30 p.m.–9 p.m., and Saturday noon–9 p.m." - Candice Woo
