I have all the luck when it comes to visiting cider tap houses. This was a perfectly sunny and 70-degree January Atlanta day. After eating an obligatory chicken and waffles for lunch to fill me up, I headed over to Urban Tree cidery to try what they had to offer before I returned to my academic conference for the afternoon. While there were several sets of friends at the high tops enjoying games and college basketball, I decided to head outside to the small sun-soaked patio. In general, the whole room had an urban chic vibe with a bar staff that was somehow both edgy and friendly—maybe this is the "new South?" Anyway, when it comes to cider, I did have some truly unique things here. While some did not strike my fancy, others hit the spot and I definitely appreciated the way the head cider maker is both trying to push the envelope while putting deft touches on classics as well. If you find yourself in Atlanta, be sure and check out this spot just a little northwest of Midtown.
