Stay tuned to this page as we announce even more events and update event details!
Snakebite Showdown
June 16-30th | Voting online, snakebites available at both locations
Fathead’s Brewery, Pelican Brewing Company, Ecliptic Brewing and Fort George Brewery have partnered with Portland Cider Company to go head-to-head in this competition for the best quintessential English drink – the snakebite! Traditionally, the snakebite is a half lager, half cider mixed drink, which may sound strange, but is very popular in English countries and is loved by Portland Cider fans.
With Oregon Breweries at the reign, these snakebites are some of the best for you to try to celebrate Oregon Cider Week, June 16-26. During that entire period, Portland Cider Company will be offering all four snakebite combos at their two locations: Clackamas and Hawthorne district in Portland. And there will be special events held by some of the breweries as well (see below)! Ecliptic Brewing & Fat Head's PDX will have their Snakebite entries available at their restaurants too!
Come try them all and the vote for your favorite one on the Portland Cider Co. event page, which has all of the details, including what beer and cider combos are being featured. Voting period is June 16-30, 2016. The winning combination will be announced on July 1st.
