"Cidermaker Christine Walter hails from a five-generation-run farm that has been homesteading their land since 1895. Walter picked up her great-grandfather’s cidermaking tradition and uses estate-grown apples; her ciders have won international awards. Bauman’s Portland taproom pours over 15 of the cidery’s flavors, like the French bittersweet blend Reine des Pommes and the Alora, a brew featuring golden raspberry and fresh hops. Cafe Olli alumnus chef Daniel Green’s food is not to be missed — especially the umami-rich bleu cheese dip with chips and the rye toast topped with creme fraiche, onion, and smoked salmon caught by the chef and cidermaker themselves." - Janey Wong
