Nestled in a cozy corner of Richmond, Blue Bee Cider boasts a welcoming vibe, a stellar selection of unique ciders, and a festive atmosphere perfect for any gathering.
"Located in the city’s former city stable complex -- which was built out of granite street cobbles in the 1940s -- Blue Bee Cider is a cozy yet industrial spot to sip one of Virginia’s oldest beverages: cider. The recently renovated 9,000-square foot cidery boasts a laboratory, keg storage, and cider production facility as well as a tasting room and sprawling outdoor patio from which to enjoy artisanal ciders. Try the flagship, Charred Ordinary, a dry old-fashioned cider, or the Aragon 1904, an off-dry blend of modern and heirloom apples. Blue Bee also features a rotation of highly anticipated seasonal releases, including the Firecracker (a ginger-infused dessert cider) and the Mill Race Bramble (infused with raspberries and blackberries)." - The Frontier Project

"Owned and operated by Courtney Mailey, Blue Bee Cider bills itself as Virginia’s first urban cidery. Right in the middle of Scott’s Addition, Blue Bee’s stone-walled patio is transporting, reminiscent of a European garden. Truckle Cheesmongers, a cheese and charcuterie counter, sells scrumptious grilled cheeses next to the indoor cider salon. Snag a cheese board and blackberry ginger frosé before posting up on the patio." - Stephanie Ganz
"Considered Virginia’s only urban cidery, Blue Bee’s tasting room is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Its cider varietals include a limited-edition dessert cider made with ginger-infused eau de vie, and a seasonal cider infused with raspberries and blackberries." - Travis Mitchell
