The Cider Junction

A CIDER & BEER TAPROOM

A place to explore food and cider

We invite you to Silicon Valley's first Cider Taproom - a place where you can explore craft ciders from around the world (and craft beers too!) and enjoy a small bite along with them.

The Cider Junction brings together the ``old`` and the ``new``:
From craft ciders made in the traditional style (dry, aged, sometimes still, sometimes sparkling) to experimental ciders fermented or infused with other fruits, herbs and hops - We offer ciders on tap and in bottles and cans. Our friendly staff will assist you with your selections.

Our ambience leans on Santa Clara Valley’s rich history of orchards in a casual and friendly atmosphere.

ABOUT

What exactly is a craft cider?

Cider is technically a fruit wine. Craft Cider has at its base either fresh pressed apples or 100% apple juice (i.e. the cider maker bought the juice, not the apples). The often small batches are then fermented (like wine), sometimes with the addition of fruit/puree/juices or herbs. Some bring them to market in a few weeks, others let them mature for months or even years. It is not brewed, i.e. there is no heat applied or water added.

We have over 20 taps and 40+ ciders in cans and bottles for on-site consumption, plus craft beer and a selective wine offering.
