Peaks and Pints 8th Anniversary Cider Flight: Schilling Cider

Juicy blackberries and bright blueberries mingle with a hint of sweet French lavender and tangy, fresh-pressed Pacific Northwest apples. At a sparkling 5.2-percent, its flavor profile is fruited and semi-sweet making this a crushable year-round cider.

Schilling Citrus Maximus

5.2% ABV

Citrus Maximus enters the building swinging a vibrant mash-up of tart limes, tangy tangerines, bright blood oranges, and zesty lemons blending harmoniously with Schilling’s signature fresh-pressed Pacific Northwest apples.

Schilling Chaider Spiced Chai

6.5% ABV

The name “chai” is the Hindi word for “tea,” which was derived from “cha,” the Chinese word for “tea.” The Hindi term chai means a mix of spices steeped into a tea-like beverage. Recipes for chai vary across continents, cultures, towns, and families. But the traditional ingredients of a spiced tea blend usually include black tea mixed with strong spices, like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger, and black peppercorns. The spiced tea mixture is typically brewed strong with milk and sweetened with sugar or honey. For Chaider, Schilling collaborates with Dragonfly Chai, Portland’s organic tea microbrewery, mixing Organic Dragonfly Chai Mix with fresh pressed apple juice and yeast. The appearance is hazy — a muted dark yellow. The nose is intense chai spices. The flavor is also fairly dominated by chai spices, however there’s a mix of vanilla, and sweet apples in there.
