I sampled some very tasty artisan hard ciders this weekend at Portland’s Cider Summit NW, which took place on the South Waterfront.

Delicious new finds include a crisp apricot cider from Tieton Cider Works, the dry and earthy Wild English cider from B.C.’s Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse, the sparkly apple pie flavor of Chelan Gold from Lake Chelan Hard Cider and the fabulous floral finish of Hibiscus Hymnal from Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider.

And many of my favorite cider makers were at the summit as well: Finnriver Farm & Cidery, Bushwhacker Cider, Blue Mountain Cider, Alpenfire, and Wandering Aengus/Anthem, to name a few. Yum!
