Our Ciders

At Doc Waters we have a rotating selection of craft ciders available made from apples in our on-site orchard.
Typically, you’ll find an assortment of 8 of the following ciders on draft, plus bottles & cans for sale.
Growlers can only be filled with what is on tap on that day, so call ahead to check if you want something specific!
