As most of you know, we’ve been fighting tooth and nail to get Ciclops back open. It hasn’t been an easy process, and while we were hoping to already have you all back in the bar—drinking, laughing, and hanging out—that hasn’t quite been the case.
Our biggest holdup has been the hood system, which has been the main bottleneck in getting us reopened. We’ve been working around the clock to get everything done as quickly as possible. We originally expected the hood and final inspection to be completed by now, but it’s looking more like the beginning of May before we can officially open our doors.
We know you want to scream and bang the doors down. We have seen the comments, the questions, the writing on the windows, and so much more. I promise we are doing everything we can do to open back up.
What can you do in the mean time to help? - keep supporting us, keep showing up, keeping being there, we appreciate it.
Want to get involved with helping us? - message Holden. He will do his best to get back to you just as soon as possible, but again please understand he is the many point of contact for all of this. His phone is getting hundreds of text and emails a day about this. He will get back to you though just give him a second.
Got a question? Ask - there is an email listed on this site that you can ask questions on, but you can also email us at ciclopsinfo@gmail.com we are here to help and happy todo so.

For a while, hard soda felt like a trend that came and went. It had its moment—sweet, nostalgic, a little rebellious—but it never quite found its footing in a market that was quickly shifting toward IPAs, seltzers, and anything labeled “craft.” But lately, something interesting has been happening.

It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion for craft beer and a desire to challenge the ordinary. As a brewery, and cyderi we pride ourselves on personal attention to every brew and dedication to pushing the boundaries of flavor. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to excellence and our motto: making absurd the norm. As Mug Club you are one of the most important parts of this whole operation. We want to hear from you and know more about you. If there is something we can do to make your experience better please let us know at info@theabsurdmugclub.com
