Why Cider?

It’s making a comeback. Cider is the original American beverage of choice, but it fell out of favor during Prohibition. We’re joining the national movement to reclaim cider for the States, and what better place to make our mark on Americana culture than in good ole Washington, DC?

Why Capitol Cider House?

At Capitol Cider House, we do cider right! We focus on crafting hard cider with modern flavors. Our cider is sustainably sourced, naturally gluten free and unfiltered.

Locally sourced

Libations

All our apples are sourced from within 200 miles of the US Capitol Building. Our exciting beverage lineup includes a wide range of housemade cider and pommeau. The menu is always changing, but we’re always keeping it local.

Our Pommeau

WHAT THE HECK IS POMMEAU?! Pommeau is a traditional French cordial made by blending raw, unfermented cider with an apple-based distillate (eau de vie) - think of it as the apple version of port wine. Best enjoyed as an aperitif or as an extremely versatile mixer, where pommeau can replace and elevate sweet vermouth in classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Negroni.

OUR PROCESS

How It’s Made

Select

Our home grown ciders start in local orchards. We choose cider apples known for complex flavors. Every production run is different. We grab what’s growing well and will taste great in your glass!

Press

Next, we grind our apples into small bits in a process called milling. Then we’re ready to press! One bushel yields about 3 gallons of delicious juice.

Ferment

We add yeast and other natural ingredients, like honey or local fruit, to our fresh apple juice. Then it’s time to sit back and let nature take her course. The yeast gets to work, turning those natural sugars into alcohol and CO2.

Package & Pour

Once the cider is ready, we package it up in cans and kegs. It’s ready to enjoy now, or we can wait a few months to develop more flavor. Come have a glass with us and take home some 4-packs and a crowler (or two)!

Our Location

Visit CCH

We invite you to visit our production space and tasting room at 3930 Georgia Avenue. Chill out on our patio, play one of our many board games and enjoy some grub (we have food!!!) while sampling a flight of ciders. Kids are welcome, and friendly dogs can hang out in our outside space.

Our peppy space is available for private and semi-private events. We also offer custom virtual events like guided tastings and interactive workshops. Email us at [email protected] for more info!
