Much of my life I’ve felt out of place- never into what’s “cool,” too mature to be immature, too whimsical to be mature, always daydreaming about what could exist, how we could exist- no wonder the artist’s path chose me. All that is to say, it feels real good to be welcomed into a new community here on the Central Coast of California, so come on out to Drag Roulette this Thursday @slocider where everyone is welcome!
Come on out for some drinks and support SLO’s first monthly Nashville-style Songwriters Night! Tomorrow night at Shindig Cider, we’ll have original music from 10 local songwriters, sharing their songs and the stories behind them in Nashville-style writers rounds. Music runs from 5–8 PM — come grab a drink, hang out, and support original music here on the Central Coast! And if you’re a songwriter yourself, don’t forget to sign up to play a future round! You can scan the QR code on the flyer to submit. Monday, September 28 • 5–8 PM Shindig Cider • San Luis Obispo
Friday and Saturday we picked and pressed. We had apples from the Two Broads’ orchard for Bridge Block cider and a mix of apples from the Lewicki Ranch and Vineyard for Wild Heirloom.
One month out!
Attention bands and fans! Humdinger SLO will be opening just after 5 PM today, Saturday 9/26, due to road slurry work on Capitolio Way. Please plan your arrival accordingly. Thanks for your patience—we’ll see you tonight!
Dingerfest is here. Our Oktoberfest Märzen brings rich, toasty malt, a touch of caramel, and a clean, smooth finish. A classic German-style lager made for raising a stein. Available now at both Arroyo Grande and SLO locations. Prost!
HQ is closed tomorrow but Downtown is open for all your cider needs!
Get your ideas going and submit SOON! Deadline is Oct 2nd!
“It’s A Shirt Show” is our first ever apparel show, in partnership with Androgynous Fox! This show will be featured in our new mini gallery during the month of November 2026. The premise of this show is to allow artists of all kinds to create a 1 or 2 color design for a standard t-shirt with a single impression area. If the artist's design is chosen for the show it will be printed based on orders throughout the month and ready in time for the holidays. The artist that designs the shirt that gets the most orders will win a stipend of $250 plus all artists will receive a percentage of every shirt sold with their design on it. Find more info on our website! Tap here for more info!
We have the best team ever😻
Have a good idea for a Tshirt? Visit our website to learn more and enter your design!
Spooky orchard scenes. We love this morning fog that condenses on the apples and spider webs.
All day happy hour is now on Thursdays aka Mini Friday aka The Thirstiest Day of the Week! Come by for 20% off full pints all day 😎
Saturday they are closing Capitolio Way. Sooooo. I guess if you are gonna drive you better park in Via Esteban and Ricardo. OR you can walk or ride your bike! See you on Saturday!
More harvest pics from Bridge Block. With these apples we make a cider that is wild fermented and barrel aged that we feel is the true flavor of the orchard 😋. Our current batch has toasty and lemony notes.
girl dinner has been served did you know you can order @kikorestaurantslo ‘s from our downtown location? use the QR code on each table to have your food delivered right to you while sipping on some cider🥘🍻 #slo #downtownslo #girldinner
First day picking the orchard we are leasing from @landconservancyslo that has trees over 25 years old. It’s Braeburn on an unknown rootstock with a sprinkling of Dolgo Crab and Granny Smith to provide compatible pollen, cuz Braeburn does not self-pollinate. Slide three shows some deer damage. Grrrr. Pesky deer! Stay tuned for kore fun facts.
This week is pretty heavy. Come play poker watch a concert or sing karaoke. Eat some really good food. Drink a beer or an orange soda. Try our new Oktoberfest Marzen named Dingerfest. Good Times.
Sometimes on the equinox you are cleaning out the orchard with friends (hey, chris!) and burning them (not the friends, the dead trees) on the beach with more friends because el nino is coming and you don’t want the dead trees to get tangled in the live trees
Open at 7 am daily! Come eat!

Get ready for a whirlwind of wit, chaos, and unscripted brilliance at Improv Extravaganza—the ultimate showcase of indie improv talent! These tiny teams have gathered to strut their stuff for one jam-packed night of made-up magic. Come cheer on your favorite teams, or discover new ones, in this show of back-to-back sets of spontaneous storytelling, wild characters, and big laughs. This is a widely popular show, so make sure you get your tickets early! Price goes up at the door! The Undergrounds cafe will be open for all your sipping and snacking needs.
Our biggest press to date, a few hundred pounds shy of 2 tons. These are organic Gala apples from @cuyamaorchards . We get seconds because we don’t need perfection and the farm can still make a sale on fruit they worked so hard to grow. We use this juice in Gala Agenda, Bearded Queen, and Kumquat May.
who did it best? @sipwithshawn or @nateskeeee #slocider #downtownslo #trend #slo
Less than two weeks left to catch this rad female muralist show, featuring art by some real cool Bunker peeps🎨

Picking apples in Creston at Lewicki Ranch and Vineyard. Waiting to see if there is enough of anything for a single varietal batch but definitely these will go into Wild Heirloom. Today, we got: Braeburn, Wickson, King David, Cinnamon Spice, and Roxbury Russet.

BTS vs. final pics!! Did a shoot for my sister’s cider brand and it only felt right to hire all our friends. We had a pizza party up on the cliffs and the line between photoshoot and party was basically nonexistent 🍻 @shindigcider #sanluisobispophotographer #photographybts #centralcoastphotographer #friendshipphotography #slophotographer

🍊 WE MADE OUR OWN ORANGE SODA. 🍊 Because apparently brewing beer wasn’t enough. Introducing Humdinger Orange Soda — our take on the classic old-school orange soda. Made right here at Humdinger with real orange juice, pure cane sugar, and sweet orange peel oil. No corn syrup. No powdered drink mix. Just bright, juicy, ridiculously refreshing orange soda made 5 barrels at a time on our brewhouse. It’s sweet. It’s citrusy. And it tastes like the orange soda you remember — only better. Made from scratch at Humdinger. 🍊🥤

The brand new living room is for community, creating and conversation, no screens please! 🙅 Undergrounds and the main cafe space is for gathering, eating, laughing, admiring art (have you checked out our gorg new show yet?!), playing, crying, working, catching up with an old friend or meeting a new one 🤗 The bathroom is ran by the dolls🪆 Capiche? 😂

What are you putting on aux? 🎶
What cider making looks like: nutrient addition for healthy yeast and healthy fermentation 😊😋
Enjoy this soundscape of Yarlington Mill apples that we pressed last Saturday from @sierra.cider
Reasons to visit this month, even though you always have a reason; good cider, good vibes, comfy atmosphere, and welcoming people.
Catch of the day!
