The Brew SiteOne of the most award-winning cideries in Oregon is #2TownsCiderhouse, with many awards earned across a wide selection of its ciders, and recently it brought home more metal from the LA Invitational Wine & Spirits Challenge. In particular, its new year-round Guava Get Down snagged three medals, and several of the Cosmic Crisp ciders earned silver medals as did two of the Craftwell Cocktails line.
At the beginning of the year, #PortlandCiderCompany added Pear Lychee to its year-round lineup, a cocktail-inspired cider created with pear and lychee that had previously been released as a small-batch specialty #cider. The company sent me samples to review; it’s packaged in both 12-ounce and 19.2-ounce cans.

#PortlandCider is heading into spring with two new imperial ciders joining its lineup—Imperial Blackberry Lime and Imperial Passion Fruit. Blackberry Lime is now part of the core year-round ciders, while Passion Fruit expands the company’s rotating imperial series as the spring seasonal. Both are 8.4% ABV.

New and returning ciders are out from #PortlandCiderCompany to kick off the new year, featuring the return of winter seasonal Concord Grape and the new year-round addition of Pear Lychee, which was previously a small-batch specialty. The company sent me samples of both to review.

#2TownsCiderhouse rounded out its seasonal #cider series for 2025 with Sled Zeppelin, a winter (Christmas) limited cider made with cranberries and cinnamon. It’s definitely a festive cider, with 6.9% ABV, and don’t think you should only enjoy this for the holidays (despite the Heavy Metal Santa on the label) — it’s one to drink through the winter as availability allows.

#PortlandCiderCompany’s fall releases make for some good holiday drinking, particularly its newest imperial seasonal, Blood Orange Pomegranate. The company highlighted four ciders for the fall, and sent me samples to review. All four would make good additions to your holiday drinks menu, so let’s straight into reviews.

#StemCiders of Colorado recently introduced a new series of #NonAlcoholic ciders into its lineup, Stem Zero, leading with two flavors: Blueberry Lime and Apricot Haze. The company highlights the fact that these are not alcohol-removed NA beverages, rather “true” (never alcoholic) ones from the start.

There’s a new holiday #cider out from #2TownsCiderhouse this season, bringing cranberries and cinnamon to the party for a rock music-infused specialty—Sled Zeppelin. As expected, the news release is full of Led Zeppelin references and puns, and I expect the cider will hold up to the hype.

I recently received samples from #SchillingCider of the company’s latest releases timed for the fall: Excelsior Imperial Hyper-Dry and Chaider. Imperial Hyper-Dry is new, while Chaider returns with glow-in-the-dark cans.
