Atlanta Hard Cider To Open Taproom, Cidery In Marietta

MARIETTA, GA — Atlanta Hard Cider Co. & Distillery is opening its doors in Marietta this weekend, city officials announced, featuring a cidery, taproom and weekend-long community event Saturday and Sunday.

Formerly city-owned property, Atlanta Hard Cider is opening a 6,000-square-foot cider manufacturing facility and tasting room at 1010 Roswell St. in Marietta. City officials marketed the property as a redevelopment opportunity, and the family-owned cidery took advantage of the deal.

"The city has been improving the Roswell Street Corridor for years with new streetscape beautification projects and building design standards," Marietta city officials said in a news release. "The new Atlanta Hard Cider site represents another success in the renaissance of Roswell Street and will be a tourist and local visitor draw into the heart of our community."

The grand opening is scheduled Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., featuring various ciders and vodka for purchase, a pet-friendly patio, live music, food vendors, lawn games and more. The event is free to attend, but alcohol and food will have varying costs.

Tasting tickets are available for purchase for those age 21 and older ahead of time online by visiting this link, but can also be purchased on-site. The cidery is offering 5-ounce pours at $3 each, or you can get a bundle discount by purchasing 10 tasting tickets for $25.
