Puget Sound Cider Company

The Ultimate Guide to Puget Sound’s Best Cideries | Eater Seattle

"Founded in 2017 by Nick Hill and Holly Coleman as a passion project after coming across an antique cider press at Renton’s Antique 4U, this small-batch, award-winning operation sources fruit from its Ellensburg orchard and pours from a taproom tucked into the back of an antique store furnished with stained glass windows and card catalog cabinets. Dedicated to reviving centuries-old cider-making techniques, they use heirloom apples like Kingston Blacks and Harrisons and adjunct fruits such as blackberries, strawberries, rhubarb, and pears; the lightly carbonated ciders skew drier and more refined in the tradition of French and English styles and have earned more than 80 awards. If you don't make the trip, their booth at Pike Place Market operates Thursday through Sunday." - Meg van Huygen
