The tour was very informative and what an interesting process. We tired a number of their varieties and enjoyed learning all about them. Tried some other non alcohol goodies and loved how the presentations. We had friends from out of state who we very impressed by the time the owners took with us, purchased several of their products and can’t wait to enjoy them.

Adventurous Stills is an award-winning small-batch craft distillery located in Tempe, AZ. All our Spirits start from grains or molasses, and are wholly produced from grain to bottle by hand in our Distillery. Our Distillery is built not bought – we hand-built our all-copper stills, mash tun, and virtually everything else you see. From milling the grains in-house, to tasting every batch as it comes off the still to ensure only the best parts of each run are bottled, we control every step of the process. Stop by the Distillery for a tour and taste to experience the results of our passion! **Tours are held every hour on the hour with the last one 1 hour prior to closing. No tours are given on Thursdays!

Fun & educational! Visiting a friend, we decided to try a distillery tour and it was fun! Jim, the master distiller, gave us the tour and it was very interesting and he was excellent. Erik & Abby were gracious & fun servers/bartenders. And of course they make a great product. Tasting the different vodkas, gin, etc... was more fun knowing how it was made. We will be back again in the future.

Living in Mesa we have been wanting to check out what downtown Mesa has to offer and this was our first experience. We stopped by Cider Corps for a night out with a group of about 10 and stayed almost until closing (10PM) which is early but common for bars in the area. The place was much bigger than we expected with a large open seating area with several large tables as well as some outside. The interior is like a large warehouse with garage doors which allow for fresh air during the nicer weather here in Arizona. The place is veteran-owned and has military influence throughout its design which adds to the ambiance. Since we are more beer drinkers we didn’t really know what to get but our server helped us out with his recommendations and we started with the Terp That and Three Tipsy POGS. They both had great flavor profiles and aroma and went down smooth. Since we were crunched for time we didn’t get to order food but saw that they also have pizza which we are sure pairs great with their ciders. They also offer 5 taster flights of several ciders to try a few different ones but we decided we wanted to try some of the ciders not offered as flights and are glad we did. To finish we ordered the Tropic Lightning and the Blueberry Angels. These two were our favorites that we tried and the Blueberry Angels was probably the best of the four that we got that night. We realized when they brought these out that they were served from cans so you can also stop by and get some packs of their ciders which is great if you find one that you really like. As a first impression of downtown Mesa this was a great experience and we really enjoyed the ciders they had here. Being three years old this establishment is a bit older and will definitely continue to grow now that Mesa is starting to boom as well. If you’re into ciders or just want to find some spots to visit in Mesa this should be on your list! @wanderingwithustwo
