Drink Cider With Us + Share Happy Moments

May 3, 2020

Drink Cider With Us!

Cheers to making new cider friends!

Every Thursday we are hosting a complimentary virtual happy hour.

Each week, taste with a different cidery around the Pacific Northwest. Learn about a family that explores and crafts cider together in Idaho, take a trip to where apples grow in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley and go behind the scenes on Washington’s wild and rural Olympic Peninsula.

We look forward to sharing a glass together from the comfort of our own homes. Literally, from our home to yours.
Please note the time change to 5pm PT, beginning 5/21.

For media inquiries please contact NWCA Executive Director, Emily Ritchie.

Meriwether Cider

The tasting line up for their virtual happy hour includes Meriwether Foothills Semi-Dry, Hop Shot, Grapefruit Rosemary. Their ciders are available here for to-go pick up from both of their locations, local home delivery, curbside or available for shipping online.

Now home to 5,000 trees and a tasting room that knows how to host a good party, Western crafts “easy going and traditional” ciders. Raise a glass with us on a virtual visit to big sky country.
