Finnriver Cidery Tap Takeover at Peaks & Pints

The last time NW Beverages distribution company reached excitement levels this high was when their sales executive Mike “Taco Boz” Bosold make homemade ice cream for the team. The Western Washington distributor just added Finnriver Farm & Cidery to their portfolio — and they’re celebrating with a Finnriver tap takeover at Peaks & Pints Thursday, March 7.

On the northeast corner of the Olympic Peninsula is an extension of land called the Quimper Peninsula, named after Manuel Quimper, a Spanish Peruvian explorer, cartographer, naval officer, and colonial official. The narrow peninsula became the home of towns Port Townsend, Chimacum, Glen Cove and Fort Worden, just to name a few. Today, Quimper Peninsula is home to some of the best cideries in Washington state, including Finnriver in Chimacum.

Andrew Byers, a botanist, wordsmith, and Le Cordon Bleu chef turned cidermaker, has been managing microbial populations at Finnriver for almost eight years; before that he helped produce estate-grown sparkling cider in cider orchards of upstate New York.  He mastered an academic emphasis in fungal ecology and systems thinking/design to the forefront of his home cider production, as well as a deep knowledge of tree fruit. Bring your dictionary on Byers-led tours of the farm.

Join NW Beverages and Finnriver Farm & Cidery at Peaks & Pints 5-8 p.m. Thursday, March 7 for a night of drinking some of the best cider made in Washington state.
