ACE Premium Hard Ciders

All of my girlfriends refuse to go here because the owner assaults them. I continued to go myself for some time, but was not only assaulted by the owner but then asked not to come by his wife. Another friend tells me she had the same experience here, where she was ostracized for his inappropriate behavior. Nobody in the place will protect you. Don’t go, but if you must, bring your own bodyguard. I affectionately have deemed it, ’ The Misogyny Club.’ I don’t recommend supporting this business in any way. I will give it a star rating as it is required.

My friend and I took a road trip from Sacramento to visit this cidery on a Friday afternoon since they are only open on Fridays from 1 – 5 p.m. She even took a half day off work for us to visit here and Lagunitas which shows how much we wanted to check it out!
It costs only $ 10 to try all the ciders they have on tap which I thought was a really good deal. The person helping us said paying in small bills/​exact change is helpful, so that is something to keep in mind when you visit. We were able to get served almost right away and only had one couple in front of us in line.
The cider pub has both indoor and outdoor seating and we opted for outdoors since it was a nice day outside. The indoor area also felt a little dark to me and did haven’t a lot of windows to let in natural night. As far as the sampler, I tried the Joker for the first time and really enjoyed it. I think the Apple is fairly solid and the Pear is even better too.
I would definitely come back again.

ACE, I finally found you!
Ignore your GPS, for it tells lies. The address listed here on Unilocal is correct. My GPS tried for 3000 something Gravenstein Hwy N, and that was quite incorrect. Luckily my companion was seasoned traveler and fellow cider lover Regina W., who was able to re-​route us successfully.
This place is open 1 – 5 pm Fridays only, from the horse’s mouth, not their website, which still needs to be updated from 2 – 5. They’re hoping to expand soon, so that is very exciting news to fans here in Sacramento.
I first heard about Ace from a good friend that used to go to the first Ace in the Hole while he was at Sonoma State University. I became hooked on the perry cider and the Joker soon after, and the rest is history. It’s still one of my favorite cider brands.
Try the sampler! We got to try 10 ciders for $ 10 on our last trip here, including some seasonals. I had never even heard of Space before, aka the Bloody Orange Cider. Yum!
I would definitely come back to hang out on the picnic benches again. If I lived in Sebastopol I would be here every Friday! Those lucky Sebastopolians.
Note: Keep an eye out for Star Wars memorabilia.

What a fun little place! Sad for working stiffs they are only open Fridays 2 — 5. Tried to go Weds because Unilocal said they were open, also, if your GPS brings you in from the north entrance, you have to drive around a little to find it.
That said — great variety of ciders. Do the sampler. Ones you think you won’t like (pumpkin) are surprisingly good. Pear, pineapple, sweet, tart — there is something for everyone. Even the negative nelly in our group had to admit she enjoyed the cider & the ambience.
The owner & staff are laid back & very friendly. I just wish they were open on weekends!

What does open for business mean? I only ask as I opted for cider in wine country and was beyond disappointed.
Are you guys open? Are you closed? Is it only Monday’s as it said? Help people out with posting truths please and thanks!

Located in the back of building 4. There is a canopy in front, go through that and into the bar to your left. Open Fridays 1 – 5, even though the website says 2 – 5. We arrived thinking we were early, but we’re able to go right in… and were the only ones there. Great experience tasting 8 different ciders in a $ 9 sampler. They ranged from dry to sweet.

Loved their ciders for a while and dropped in while visiting from out of town. Unfortunately their tasting room was closed at the time, but a woman named Sarah came out and sold us a pack of ciders anyways. We got to try the seasonal pumpkin cider (which was delicious by the way!) and the hospitality was surely appreciated!

I met Jeffrey House, the visionary of Ace Hard Ciders, back in the early 2000s when Ace was no more than a simple cider pub — the very first American cider pub — at the corner of Graton Rd. and Hwy 116. You couldn’t find these amazing elixers anywhere but there.
Today, it is simply amazing to see Ace Cider storm the country and grab attention… so much attention that everyone is trying to copy their success, flooding the market with cheap, inferior, or blah-​flavored apple waters… Wow! What a ride it has been!
Kudos to Ace! Keep those bottles coming!

A must for all cider and beer enthusiasts!
I am totally not being bias when I say this is the best bar in the world– they do serve up one of the most freshest apple cider on tap here! They come in wide variety of flavors so do yourself a flavor and get the sampler if you haven’t experienced Ace before but if you have, get one anyway because their tap taste a million times better :)
I love Ace cider and wish I lived closer! If your in the area and happens to be a Friday… Make a effort to come– you won’t regret tasting their amazing brew! The staff is friendly and the place is cozy equipped with pool table!

I usually don’t like cider because it is too sweet but ACE ciders are all perfectly balanced. The pumpkin is my favorite right now but all the flavors are great. The pineapple tastes like the juice from a container of fresh cut pineapple fruit. The bartender at the tasting room was so fun. Quirky, fun, little pub. So glad we took off work to make it in for a tasting of all the ciders. They even have an IPA & a lager beer on draft. I want a pint of the pumpkin cider right now. Glad we bought a case! Cheers.

Great little known tasting room. Knowledgeable bar tender and great sampler available. Only open Fridays so call ahead. They have live music as well some Fridays. They will fill your growlers any weekday though.

A very interesting place and staff to say the least. A must if your in the area for sure.

:gasp:
I am SHOCKED there are no reviews for the best cider company in the USA.
I LOVE ACE.
Ace makes a variety of amazing ciders that are all smooth to drink. You can make your own combo flavors too by mixing them together.
My favorite is mixing the perry cider with the apple. NOM.
Ace is a fun place to visit when they’re open (only on Fridays from 2−5pm) with plenty of cool stuff on the walls to admire and friendly employees to talk to.
Ace is also the reason why I love to go to Lagunitas Brewery Skunk Train event every September because they have their cider at the picnic grounds the day of the train.
Honestly… I only drank about an ounce of Lagunitas and focused my attention on ACE.
I also am a big fan of their staff they have at beer festivals, they’re always so awesome!
I wish they were open more often but hey, three hours is better than none! Plus, you can make a day trip out of Sebastopol, there are plenty of cool things to visit in that awesome town! Hit up Ace on the way to or from the Russian River for a perfect Sonoma County day. You won’t regret it.

Saw a bottle of this pear-​flavored hard cider on the shelf of my local Whole Foods market and decided to give it a try.
Nice stuff!
i’m no taste expert, but it’s kinda like ginger ale — with a crisp pear-​flavored aftertaste. It’s so smooth, a 22-​oz bottle goes down pretty quick.
Definitely want to try out their other flavors with different kinds of foods.
Turns out, they’re up north, in Sebastopol (cool area).
