Apple Outlaw Cidery taproom now open
Not so fresh news but important cider news anyway, Apple Outlaw Cidery opened a great taproom and restaurant with a full patio this summer in Jacksonville, Oregon. The taproom serves pizza, wings, salads and dessert every day and brunch on weekends, plus pours from 24 draft lines. It’s a destination worthy-spot in the Applegate Valley and is open now winter hours with a fire pit and their seasonal Coastal Cranberry cider with a kiss of rose hips on tap and in bottles. Visit them at 15090 OR-238, Jacksonville, Oregon 97530.
