Wayside Cider - Review - Andes - The Catskills - The Infatuation

"At Wayside Cider, you can sample funky alcoholic apple juice and listen to someone go ham on a banjo, watch the sunlight fade at a picnic table underneath an array of twinkle lights, or climb up to the loft to play shuffleboard and darts. All of Wayside’s nooks and crannies are the perfect setting for a day full of bar snacks and small-batch ciders made from Hudson Valley apples. The ciders are on the drier side, ranging from the crushable Skinny Dip with tons of tiny bright bubbles, to the fuller-bodied Catskill with hints of oak and bourbon. It’s even possible to have a full meal here with bar bites like andouille hot dogs and grazing boards—we just wish the food menu was a tiny bit more fleshed out, because the drinks and the space are so special." - Anne Cruz
