"The Bend-based casual cider-makers at Avid (formerly known as Atlas) opened a Portland shop in the heart of the Pearl, Brewpublic reports. Avid’s new digs inhabit the bottom floor of the Pearl’s new Couch 9 apartment building, serving an array of ciders, rotating craft beer, and an assortment of pizzas, topped with everything from Brussels sprouts to cider-braised pork. The cider taproom will join new brewery outpost Backwoods and new-ish brewery revamp Von Ebert in the Pearl’s new wave of brew and cider pubs." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
