Portland Cider Introduces Peach Berry Cider Seasonal and Makes Pineapple Rosé Year-Round

Portland Cider Co. is releasing Peach Berry Cider as its newest seasonal release. Meanwhile, the Clackamas, Oregon cidery is elevating its popular Pineapple Rosé seasonal a year-round in the core lineup. Peach Berry Cider is has flavors of ripe blackberry, stone fruit and sorbet with an aroma of floral juicy peaches.

More from a press release:

Bold, juicy Oregon peaches play with a blend of tart Northwest grown berries for a cider full of sunshine to drink on grey winter days. Lively raspberries, blackberries and blueberries burst onto the tongue, like just-plucked fruit from the backyard.

“Portland Cider fans have been begging us for a berry cider for years,” said Helen Lewis, Cider Propagandist at Portland Cider Co. “After lots of small batch experiments in our taprooms, our cider makers found the perfect blend to give the people what they want. The fresh peaches just elevate it to a new level.”

With a bold peach flavor and slight tartness, this balanced cider pairs well with classics like fish tacos, spicy sausages and corn on the cob. It comes in at 5.2% ABV.

Peach Berry follows on the heels of Portland Cider Co.’s summer seasonal, Pineapple Rosé; that cider has been so well received that the company is adding it to its year-round lineup. Bursting with fresh juicy pineapples, Pineapple Rosé boasts a pretty in pink hue from a splash of Northwest-grown blueberries.

Portland Cider Co.’s Peach Berry Cider is available in 19.2-ounce cans, 12-ounce six-pack cans, and on draft.  It can be purchased at either of the company’s two taprooms, as well as at select retailers in Oregon and Washington, plus limited draft distribution in the Bay Area of Northern California.
