We figured this was a must go to cider taproom for the Portland area. We’ve seen their ciders in liquor stores all over the country and by the name I would assume it’s the flagship of the city. The taproom did not disappoint. They had a large selection of their own ciders and a few guests cider and beers as well as a couple cider cocktails. We got a flight and tried a couple of their cider cocktails, all of which were delicious. My girlfriend got a seasonal pumpkin chai spice cocktail that came with a souvenir glass, which was awesome since we love collecting glasses from our favorite taprooms. We got the pretzel and cider cheese, which was delicious. It was our second favorite “beer” cheese (behind 19 Acres’s cider cheese). The service was a bit iffy though, there were 3 employees. One of which did a good job all around interacting with guests and serving good drinks, one was a guy that seemed to be in training so was a bit timid to go out on his own, and one was a larger female that was absolutely terrible. She would greet and setup every single table, then never come back. We watched as every single group waited 10+ minutes for her to come back, but she never did. She spent the entire time talking to two regulars at the bar and giving them what seemed like a dozen free tasters. Overall though, this is an awesome place that I’ll definitely go back to… I just hope that bartender isn’t there.
