Throughout the past few years, hard cider has been all the rage, picking up fans who once clamored for craft beer or locally-made wine. Now, the season for hard cider has arrived once again, as nothing tastes quite like fall like a glass of hard apple cider with autumnal seasonings.
This November, head to these Washington, D.C. bars to pick up a glass of artisanal cider with a kick. Ranging from the traditional apple to ciders with unique flavors and styles, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the season and grab a pick-me-up.
