I’ve been drinking some amazing hard ciders lately. You shitheads have any recommendations?

And don’t say Angry Orchard with a shot of Fireball, @Pitchfork51!

Ain't no laws when you're drinking White Claws. The Throbber is a Black Cherry guy. And it doesn't make his ass fat.

Don't know anything about cider except the Angry Orchard shit gave me a helluva headache one time.

I'm glad you found some winners in your box o' NWJD booze.
Fair warning: Good cider is often quite expensive. Cider *is* wine, and we're not using Welches to make good wine so we're not using TreeTop to make good cider.
https://www.snowdriftcider.com/ is in my opinion the best in WA.

Of Tim's stuff, Cliffbreaks is closest to the "plain" cider I sent you. His Red is very similar to mine, and along with the (excessively) oaked Cornice those 3 are the ones usually easiest to find in PNW.

I'm a big fan of Sea Cider up in Victoria, but I don't know what Canada's travel restrictions have done to availability lately.

We have been fortunate to get to work with some apple varieties only a couple generations removed from their native ancestors in the hills of Kazakhstan[/b].[/i]

If I didn’t feel slightly guilty for periodically hooking up with your wife, I’d put your nuts in an apple press for sullying this thread with a picture of that swill!

Sweet! Thanks for the list NWJD. (And again for the FREE PUB[/s] BOOZE. It was yummy.)

My @Sources have identified where I can pick up some Snow Drifter so I’ll give that a try.

Liberty does a nice job out in Spokane from what I've tasted.https://www.libertycider.com/

I know HCH is full of 0.1%-ers so perhaps you've already made the trip out to San Juan Island on your yacht to visit Westcott Bay Cider. That's a lot of their clientele. Otherwise, you can order online and I think at least one liquor store in Anacortes near the ferry carries them.

Further south on Vashon, Dragon's Head Cider varies from ok to great IME. One of the few commercial Perries I like.

the fruited ciders at Elemental in Arlington were meh to me, but I liked the plain - "Carbon" I think it was called.

Whitewood down near Oly is almost always available at my family's tavern, and usually good. A couple tims the sulfite (burnt matchstick) was excessive. They added a tasting room a couple years ago.

Yeah, 2 Towns in Corvallis had some good stuff. I preferred the bottles of apple-only stuff, especially the more limited batches like Afton Field or the anniversary batches, to anything spiced or fruited in a can.

Send a massage if'n you want an opinion on something specific.
Cheers--

I figured. 😁

And what’s wrong with that girl’s areolas?
 
Mrs. Coon likes her hard ciders with a spicy accent & a peppery kick. Finnriver's Habanero Cider is her jam!! She claims it goes very well with Taco Time!

She says another worthy spicy option is Locust's Pineapple Smoked Pepper.
