About

Number 12 Cider was Minnesota's largest cider house located in the North Loop of Minneapolis, offering the largest variety of award-winning craft ciders including dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, and sweet styles made from specific apple blends and unique flavor additions like honeyberries, rum barrel, and mango. They also served wines, cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, and hemp-derived Delta-9 THC seltzers. The cidery has closed, with a farewell message and an ongoing auction of the business.
