old mill | River's world…..

After we finished with the antique store in the old mill, we strolled around and checked out the rest of the building.

Stores and office space on the first few floors, luxury apartments on the top.

I loved this reclaimed bench.

I did not love the fact this brewery was empty and shuttered tight. Boo to that.

This is the Silver Street Tavern which came highly recommended.

I passed on the Afternoon Delight as I prefer not to drink sh*t… good, in a cup or otherwise. I went with the Key Lime Gin Fizz…

Which tasted just like a basic gin and tonic… so meh to the cocktails.

The husband started with his go to appetizer, French Onion soup. Sadly it was sub par with a strange charred flavor.

His chicken pot pie wasn’t really a pie and while the flaky top looked promising, it was cold, full of potatoes and quite dry.

I went with the homemade crab cake sandwich and call bullsh*t on the homemade. It was tiny and tasted like a frozen Mrs. Paul.

Needless to say we won’t be returning there for another meal.

There’s a small company in Rollinsford New Hampshire that produces some very tasty hard cider. I discovered them at a bar in NH two years ago and have yet been able to find it in Maine.

Welcome to part two of the liquid Saturday tour. North Country Cider.

Housed on the bottom floor of an old mill.

It was actually a tiny place, not much to see… but we were there, so we drank.

The flight was interesting. I didn’t care for the cranberry…. but the Wulf Kitty, with tart cherry, tangerine zest and ginger? Ooh la la!

After drinking our fill we walked around the old mill and realized they must have let the flood waters course right under the first floor back in the day.

Then it was back inside the store.

Where I bought two four packs of Squashed, their seasonal offering that I had discovered and loved two years ago. Wood fire roasted Kabocha squash cider, with ginger and a hint of nutmeg. It’s bizarre, and quite delicious.

I also picked up a four pack of this:
