Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider is celebrating their 12th anniversary with a summer night market at their new home on SE 35th Place and Division in Portland, Oregon. Reverend Nat’s is now the oldest Portland based cidery, and has a new taproom and food truck pod adjacent to their building that makes for a lovely location to visit and perfect spot for a party.

In partnership with Assemblage PDX, they are closing off 35th Place north of Division to host 26 local artists and vendors and eight food carts from the new Farmhouse Carts pod attached to the Rev Nat’s Taproom. The Night Market is a benefit for the Portland Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Order of Benevolent Bliss, an advocacy and support group for the LGBTQIA+ community.

“I started this business in my basement without imagining that it would be successful enough to move beyond my house,” said Nat West. “In the last decade I’ve served a lot of people from around the world who have visited to enjoy cider from my two locations in Portland prior to this new space, each one an upgrade. Now I couldn’t be more excited to join the amazing Division Street business community and welcome cider fans new and old to my new home.”

The new Cidery & Taproom is located on SE 35th Place, one door down from Division Street and behind the long-standing wood-fired Italian restaurant Cibo. A new 9-space food cart pod opened adjacent to the cidery earlier this year and features acclaimed Mama Chow’s Chinese street food, Sunrise Coffee Co, Shera Indian, Thai Burger PDX, Let’s Roll, Gyro World and E-San Thai. A side door connects the air conditioned Reverend Nat’s Taproom to the outdoor covered and heated cart pod dining area. Behind the Taproom is a 5000 square foot production area previously occupied by Southeast Wine Collective and Logsdon Farmhouse Ales. In the coming weeks, the Reverend Nat’s team will be consolidating their cidermaking operations into the new space as they move out of their production-only facility under the 405 bridge in North Portland.

Nat continued, “I have been looking for a new Taproom since we were forced to close our previous Taproom in 2020, but I didn’t want just any place that would work. I wanted a space that brought our over ten years of history and world-class ciders to a neighborhood where we had other food and beverage businesses to work alongside.” The new Taproom is open seven days per week with hours on Monday through Thursday from 3 pm to 9 pm and Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 10 pm.

The upcoming Summer Night Market continues a tradition that Reverend Nat’s began at their previous home off NE Broadway. This marks the fourth time that the popular cidery has partnered with other artists and craftspeople to showcase handmade products. This year the offerings from local makers include handmade clothes and guitars, drinkware, wall art, scents, jewelry and home goods, useful gadgets, plant accessories, ceramics, soaps, and travel essentials. While browsing these handicrafts, you can enjoy six hard ciders, five local beers, and five non-alcoholic options include a new Rev Nat’s alcohol-removed hard cider and four non-alcoholic beers. This family-friendly event has no entry fee, minors are welcome, and runs from 4 pm to 10 pm.
