Convergence CiderWorks

Huge open space, plenty of tables and games and events planned! The ciders are dry or semi-sweet. Very creative profiles like elderberry and lavender. We did a flight of 4x and it was about $10. Great place to stop in for a drink! Stay for a charcuterie board too!

I don't often write reviews, but felt compelled to write one for Convergence today. I have been coming to Convergence a few times a year or so since they opened. The sheer volume and thoroughness of detail in the building, from the immaculate cidery fermentation room to the restored beams in the dining area to the nuances in the bar, is remarkable. It is clear that the owners went the full mile in creating a very specific atmosphere, and they did an impressive job at that. It is also neat to see a business that is walking the walk on focusing on reinforcing regional character in their offerings. Their cider is made with apples from local orchards, ingredients from local producers and new menu (which I tried today) is from a local bakery. If keeping your money in your community is an economic principle you subscribe to, this is a good place to vote with your dollar. I don't generally drink hard cider, but every one I have tried here is excellent. In a world saturated in beers, this is a refreshing alternative. I would like a fall/winter offering that pairs as well with cooler temps as their current crisp ciders do with summer temps. Fresh-pressed, super-sweet, pulp-filled, rust-red, hazy-opaque orchard cider was a staple of my childhood, and is as far as I'm concerned the true taste of autumn. A whiskey-spiked cider Hot Toddy in a big coffee mug would be a wonderful addition to their offerings. Now to what inspired me to write this review; the steak/onion/potato pasty I had today. I love Decorah, but there is a lack of places to get fast, casual, hearty food. This pasty was all three of those things, and filled that niche. With an explosively flaky pastry crust filled with perfectly cooked potatoes and juicy seasoned steak, I couldn't be bothered to put it down long enough to take a picture of it. You'll just have to go in and try it for yourself A side of coleslaw would have made it perfect. Highly recommended.
