Portland Cider Company’s Wassail Tradition

This tradition is tried and true throughout English history and has been passed down for centuries. You know that we love our English traditions here at Portland Cider Co., so naturally we have always been big fans of wassailing.

Kiss 2020 Goodbye! Our Picks for Celebrating NYE at Home

We are excited to ring in the new year on a positive note by celebrating at home with some of our favorite Portland-made goodies.

How it Came to Be: Blueberry Bourbon Basil Cider, Donuts, and So Much More

Blue Star Donuts stands out among the rest due to their brioche-based donuts which are a foodie favorite in the PNW and beyond. We’ve teamed up with them once again on our latest seasonal cider, Blueberry Bourbon Basil. Our Blueberry Bourbon Basil cider was inspired by their donut of the same name.

Contest: Spot the B’s

Giveaways are always great, but we thought we’d celebrate our #TripleB release with a little something different - a game based on the “Triple B” cider nickname itself.

Think Outside of the Box for Holiday Gifts this Year

More than ever this year, it is imperative to shop local and support the small businesses here in our Portland community. Luckily there are great tools out there that make it simple and easy to shop local like Travel Oregon’s list and the Built Oregon Marketplace. Here are our top picks for gifts this holiday season from PNW-based makers.

Bog Stomping Cocktail

In honor of today being National Bartender Day, we’ve teamed up with local bartender Michelle Ruocco to bring you a deliciously tangy cocktail recipe that you can recreate at home using our Crangerine cider.

The Tradition of the Snakebite

We’re rooted in English tradition here at Portland Cider Co., due in large part to owner Lynda Parrish’s English beginnings. One of those fun traditions is creating Snakebites, a “beertail” drink that is equal parts cider and lager (or stout here in the US).

Spiced Rum & Cider Cocktail

If you’re looking for a winter cocktail that’ll warm you to the core, this cocktail is sure to do just that.

Cider Glazed Carrots

These cider glazed carrots are the accompaniment that will help even your pickiest eaters fit veggies into their diet.

Cider Sage Rolls

This recipe is for homemade dinner rolls, so make sure to allow plenty of time to prep the night before, rise, rest in the refrigerator overnight, and then bake. Trust us; the process is so worth it!
