Husband-and-wife duo Dan (Army vet) and Jodi opened Stafford Cidery in 2017, naming their hard-cider line “Crazy Cock” after the noisy chickens they raise out back. What started as a hobby in downtown Stafford Springs has hatched into a 16-tap playground where every pint is pressed, fermented, and poured on-site.

Inside the cozy brick storefront, you’ll find flights served on barn-wood paddles, board games stacked beside a weathered bar, and a menu that reads like an apple-orchard mixtape: Sweet Vanilla (crowd-favorite dessert cider), Hot Cock (cayenne-kissed heat), Sock Hop (dry-hopped with Citra & Mosaic), Tea Hee (chamomile chill), plus rotating seasonals that keep regulars guessing. Sixteen draft lines flow mostly Crazy Cock, with a few guest CT beers for good measure.

The Sweet Vanilla/Hot Cock half-and-half is the sweet-and-spicy power couple you didn’t know you needed.

Dan pours samples like your friendly neighborhood bartender, then slips you insider tips on mix-and-match flavor hacks.

$12 flights for four hefty pours make wallet-friendly experimentation a breeze.

String lights, live-edge tables, and a steady soundtrack of chicken-themed dad jokes turn this taproom into Stafford’s happiest roost.

Crazy Cock knocks the feathers off any big-box cider—hyper-local apples, cheeky flavor mash-ups, and hometown hospitality rolled into one Main-Street coop. Fly in for a flight, leave with a growler (and probably a new chicken pun) because Stafford’s spirited little cidery is absolutely worth the squawk.
