Downeast

Get your farm-fresh cider fix without ever having to leave the city by heading to Downeast. Situated right near the waterfront in East Boston, this local cidery has been pleasing the masses with its unfiltered brews for about a decade now. Its selection of ciders lean towards the sweeter side, with each sip seeming like a juicy bite out of an apple. Seasonal blends (i.e. its pineapple and pumpkin cans) are usually a hit at parties, while its limited Cider Donut release created an utter frenzy when it was introduced last fall. Meander over to its Jeffries Point taproom to try all of its offerings with ​​personalized flights—or full pours at its parking lot pop-up bar.
