Nine Pin Cider in Albany

If I lived even remotely close to Albany and not hours away, this would be my jam. Absolutely loved it here! You don't normally find cider breweries and this place had it all - eclectic spot to sit, tons of merchandise, and most importantly, a vast amount of ciders to pick from. I had just tried one of their ciders a few blocks up the street at Parish and had been Googling where to buy it when this came up. It's in an interesting area that appears to have several breweries along the block. Staff was great and they explained the different ciders and how they were made. I went with an apple pie secco flavor that was amazing. Seriously. Best cider ever. And, boy was it powerful. After one down the street followed by one at Nine Pin Cider I was pretty happy. We also tried the pink lady apple rose style and it was so good. We ended up purchasing a couple pieces of clothing, apple gin (wow!) an...

The 3 cheese and garlic pizza is awesome! We tried the Blueberry, Strawberry, Ginger and Rosé in a 4 flight, they were all fantastic. We bought some cans and a cider glass to take back home with us to NYC. Staff is awesome and gave some cool recommendations for our trip in Albany. Hope to visit again!

Visiting Albany from NJ and decided to check out this place.  I saw they had a booth at an outdoor concert but couldn't stop at the time.   Had no idea they served food. Had the 4 flight - Bartlett Pear, Rosé, Peach Tea, Crimson Honey.  LOOOVED all of them (Bartlett Pear was my fav and got a 12oz as well) We had the 3'cheese Garlic pizza (sorry no pic).  It's baked on a SOURDOUGH crust which was sooo thin it was like a cracker on the end crust.  Loved that except just a smidge greasy - but there was a lot of cheese so that's somewhat expected. Service at the bar was wonderful.  Very nice and helped me decide on my final cider Not sure the next time I'll be in Albany but I'll definitely hit them up again!!!
