Artifact Cider Project to Open Taproom in Cambridge's Central Square

A craft cider company that got its start in Western Massachusetts then moved to the Boston area before moving back to the western part of the state is returning to the Boston area once again.

According to an article from Boston Magazine, Artifact Cider Project is planning to open a taproom in an as-of-yet undisclosed space in the Central Square area of Cambridge, joining its taproom in Florence. The business started out in 2014 with its first home being in a garage in Springfield, with the company moving to Everett three years later before moving to its current home in Florence where it has a production cellar and retail area along with its taproom.

The article indicates that production of Artifact's ciders will continue to be done in Florence, and that the Cambridge taproom could offer snacks in addition to cider, though the exact plans for the taproom--which hopes to open this spring--are still in the works.

[September 25 update: A poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page mentions (via a Facebook post from the business) that Artifact Cider will be opening at 438 Mass. Ave., which is the old Economy Hardware space between Brookline Street and Sidney Street.] by Marc Hurwitz (Also follow us on Twitter at @hiddenboston)
