Peaks and Pints 2023 Pacific Northwest Cider Invitational

Call us a Winesap, but Peaks & Pints is ready for the Bittersharp. We’re down with the Pink Lady. And, we have our eye on the Northern Spy. Yes, indeed, you guessed it. Peaks & Pints is bringing back our cider invitational to anchor this year’s Tacoma Beer Week. Peaks and Pints 2023 Pacific Northwest  Invitational will consume our Western red cedar tap log Sunday, Aug. 20, with more than 20 craft ciders whose flavor profiles extend from barnyard funk to pleasantly fruity. Representing Washington, Oregon and Idaho, the Pacific Northwest Cider Invitational showcases regional variations and plucky endeavors.

Ultimately, cider is a regional product, and not every part of the country has access to the best varieties of apples to make it. Even if a grower planted an orchard today, it would be at least seven years before those trees produced their first fruit. Not only are Washington and Oregon two of the country’s biggest states for beer and wine, but the Pacific Northwest is leading the way with craft ciders, too. It makes sense, especially as Washington is the leading producer of apples, representing 65 percent of all U.S. fresh apple production. Additionally, the anything-goes, have-fun-and-get-creative attitude of the Pacific Northwest lends itself well to the creation of craft products.

Peaks & Pints will tap flavors from 2 Towns Ciderhouse, Alpenfire, Art + Science, Bauman’s Cider, Dragon’s Head, Dwinell, Fierce County, Finnriver, Seattle Cider, Yonder and others.

Let’s have fun with a bunch of Pacific Northwest cider Sunday, Aug. 20 at Peaks and Pints.
