Absolem Cider Company — Restaurant in Winthrop

Went to Absolem Cider Company for the first time and had a wonderful time. We had the best cider we've ever had. We got the Spur, which is a smoky cider and tastes amazing. If you enjoy Mezcal, this is for you. We also drank the Ronin, Off the Beaten Path, Roses Red, and Groundwork. The Ronin has pears in it and was a second favorite. Roses Red is apple cider mixed with red wine and it was sweeter than the others, this is one of my husband's favorites.

I was surprised to find a few Belgium lambics stocked, apparently per their Facebook, they had an event back in July that featured a bunch of lambics for a film festival. Lambics are almost a cross between beer and wine and can be made with fruit.

They had six different bottles available to buy to go. We brought the Roses Red and Bembel home.

The space is very open both inside and outside with a lot of seating available. There are disc golf nets for practice. While they only sell snacks, dried meats and cheeses, they routinely have visiting food services like The MaAd Egg and Wicked Thai Food and it was a great experience to be able to get a full meal with our cider. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we plan on...

Absolem is an amazing venue with amazing ambience, but don’t go to this Cidery for the Cider. Go for the mixed drinks.

Another Cidery off the beaten path in Maine. Absolem, has an amazing indoor and outdoor space. Allowing it year round service. This modern/contemporary rustic barn is great for group events and families/kids.

Absolem as a Cidery. While Absolem is labeled as a Cidery and makes its own Cider, the night we visited most guests were drinking beer and mixed drinks. Our friends commented on how amazing their mixed drinks were. Absolem’s ciders have strong vinegar overtones, which distinguishes itself from the other Maine ciders. Second, Absolem’s menu, while listing cider first, only dedicates between 1/5-1/6 of is menu to cider.

Give Absolem a try. You won’t be disappointed in your commitment to Absolem, with good food truck selections, and a great array of beer and phenomenal mixed drinks. Our only issue was their cider, more concerning as they...

Legitimately can't believe how cool it was, on a farm in Winthrop. What a vibe. Just go. Something for everyone. Dogs, families, chickens, disc golf, food trucks, music.

Folks behind the bar were excited to show off their selection. Dozens of imported Belgians along with many saisons from Oxbow, etc. IPAs from Treehouse and Otherhalf on draft, who knows what else, I only have so much time. They have hidden gems in the cooler not on the menu. Just tell them what you like and you will be surprised.

Also they create their own ciders from local sources and heirloom varieties. Unique yeasts and mixed fermentations. I don't know much about cider but if they know half as much about cider as they do beers, I'm sure it's fantastic.

Way to go. Thanks for giving us something great. Can't...
