Ragged Hill Cider Company

Ragged Hill Cider Company in West Brookfield, Massachusetts, is a rare find that combines a wine tasting room, cidery, and brewery under one roof.

The brewery component may offer seasonal ales and lagers brewed on-site, rounding out a full craft beverage experience in one stop. Guided tastings with staff explanations are usually available, making it a genuinely educational visit for newcomers to craft cider.
