"If you’re in need of an adult beverage but are wanting a different vibe than a normal brewery, come check out Bivouac Ciderworks. This rock climbing influenced cider company embraces doing things differently. Adventure and nature are at the core of this brand and you can feel it when you walk into the tap room. If you’re real lucky, and not too inebriated, we highly suggest sitting in the hanging booth and image you're eating your meal on the side of Half Dome." - Grizzly
"Six years after splashing down on 30th Street, I noted that owner Lara Worm has grown the urban cidery into a larger operation by unveiling an expansion that triples its footprint on the block; the move is tied to a mission of cider education and includes multiplying the cidery’s tank capacity by five to expand production and distribution into California and Arizona while pursuing additional wholesale opportunities." - Candice Woo
"This adjacent, nearly 6,000-square-foot hub will enable Bivouac and owner Lara Worm to increase cider production and branch out into a multi-use space that includes a coffee shop, a market for cider and locally sourced provisions, a cider education and tasting bar, a members-only brandy lounge, and a retail shop selling adventure-themed gear and gifts." - Candice Woo
"I'm planning to check out Bivouac Ciderworks' Pride Trivia on Thursday, July 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.; they’ll also offer a special $20 Pride Flight of ciders through Sunday, July 16 with a portion of proceeds going to support San Diego Pride, featuring a colorful rainbow of ciders including red cherry limeade, yellow pineapple, and green key lime–coconut." - Candice Woo
"Established in 2018, when it opened its 30th Street tasting room, which also serves food and cocktails, Bivouac Ciderworks will enter into a major growth spurt next year. Owner Lara Worm is annexing two adjacent spaces, former dance studios, into a spacious new 5,733-square-foot hub for the cider company to increase its output and have more room to build the brand. Called the Bivouac Adventure Lodge, it’ll be separate from the original tasting room but the additional space will allow the cidery to significantly expand the footprint of its production facility to be able to create more of its core ciders and experiment with other limited and seasonal releases, which will be available on-site and to-go along with ciders from different local or small-batch makers. A members-only private tasting club will also be launched. Currently scheduled to open in Fall 2023, the Lodge will hold ample communal seating and a main cider bar as well as a general store and retail shop selling pantry goods and other provisions, such as components for build-your-own charcuterie boards and favorites from Bivouac’s menu, including the poblano hummus. Other items for purchase will range from outdoor gear to apparel and gifts all in line with Bivouac’s adventuring spirit." - Candice Woo
