(Downtown, Springdale, AR)
Scooter’s 1405th bar, first visited in 2019.
So remember how in the previous entry I said I wasn’t in the mood for cider? Well here’s what happened with that.
After I finished at Bike Rack I drove a few miles to Macadoodle’s (a liquor store) to buy some regional beer to take home. By the time I finished there, it was time for Saddlebock Brewery to open. So a drove all the way out to the country and arrived there. Yes! Another place where I was the first customer of the day. Except wait, there’s no employee vehicle. The door was locked. Checked Facebook, and found a post made earlier that morning stating that they would be opening late. Crap. I was on a timetable, so so much for getting to visit Saddlebock on this trip.
I returned to town and it was still going to be quite a while before any other brewery on my list would be open. My route took me past Black Apple Crossing, and I began to feel guilty, and worried I’d regret it later if I didn’t visit every single craft establishment I possibly could. So I parked and went inside.
Thank god I did…. because I had no idea I was about to experience the BEST DAMN CIDER OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.
The tasting room is in the far back, behind the restaurant area, and there’s a good sized patio behind that. The credit card system was down so they offered me my cider for free, but I had cash so I would have none of that nonsense.
I had the Barrel Aged 1904 and the, oh sweet Jesus this was so amazingly good: the Hibiscus cider. That one was so good I got a 4-pack to go!
