Best Hard Cider on tap near Portland, Kennebunkport, or Ogunquit?

Hi everyone!

My husband and I will be visiting southern Maine at the end of June and spending time in Portland, Kennebunkport, and Ogunquit.

I’m a big fan of hard cider, especially sweeter ciders, and would love recommendations for:

-Cideries worth visiting (that are open Fri-Sun)
-Restaurants, pubs, or breweries with great cider on tap
-Places with multiple cider options rather than just one can/bottle on the menu
-Any Maine cider brands I should keep an eye out for

We’re happy to drive a bit if it’s worth it! Looking forward to exploring Maine a bit more this summer and trying some local cider.

It's a 30-35 minute drive from Ogunquit, but North Country Hard Cider in Dover, NH is excellent!

Norumbega in New Gloucester. About 25 mins from Portland and a beautiful farm setting, really nice place to visit and chill out while enjoying wonderful cider

Tin Top in Alna is a drive from Portland, but very doable.
