History
[edit]Jeff and Lynda Parrish founded Portland Cider Company in 2013. The business has become Oregon's second largest craft cider producer and is distributed in California, Colorado, and Washington.[1] Portland Cider produces 300,000 gallons per year.[2][3] It makes a community cider every year using apples and pears donated by the public.[4]
Portland Cider has collaborated with the Hillsboro Hops.[5]
Taprooms
[edit]Portland Cider has operated three taprooms, in Clackamas, Portland, and Beaverton.[2] The Beaverton location was the third to open.[6] The taproom on Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland, called Portland Cider House, closed in 2024.[1][7] At the pub in Clackamas, Portland Cider has served fondue with apples, cheeses, pickles, and apple-rhubarb mustard.[4]
Reception
[edit]Portland Cider's Original Gold Cider received the best-in-class trophy at the International Brewing and Cider Awards in London in 2024, which was a first for a U.S. company.[8][9][10]
