I finally went to Lost Boy Cider in the Eisenhower East area of Alexandria next to Carlyle Square. Lots of cider choices. Nice place to gather with friends. Easy and close street parking options. Less than ten minutes from my front door in the West End of Alexandria.
My favorites among the flights tested for "research" were the Wild Virginia and Mango #5 (Mango & Habanero...Definitely a Thumb's Up from me!).
The Taproom is open Wednesday through Sunday. Read more about their process, ciders on tap, and more at LostBoyCider.com.
Lost Boy Cider is close to Sweet Fire Donna's, Tequila & Taco, and Whiskey & Oyster for dining options after (link to restaurant website).
Check out the videos and info on Sweet Fire Donna's and Tequila & Taco on this West End News for You page.
