From a Pop-Up Pub to a Rugby Scrum to a Cider + Donuts Festival, the company is hosting a number of cider-centric events
CLACKAMAS, Ore. (June 11, 2019) –– Portland Cider Co. will be participating in more than 15 cider-centric events during this year’s 8th annual Oregon Cider Week. From hosting a FIFA Women’s World Cup Brunch to taking part in the Cider Summit Portland to joining a SE Cider Crawl, Portland Cider Co. will spend 11 days celebrating its handcrafted Oregon ciders. A complete list of all events, including details and ticket links, is available on Portland Cider Co.’s website, and a curated selection of highlight events is listed below.
The Portland Cider House at 3638 SE Hawthorne Blvd. has a new “crowler” machine. Be one of the first guests to get a 19.2 oz. Proper Pint fill from one of the cider house’s 30 craft cider taps; an excellent choice would be Rum Crush, releasing exclusively that day at the Hawthorne location. Rum Crush is a handcrafted cider full of strawberries, rhubarb, pineapple and orange aged in a rum barrel. Admission is free, crowlers and growler fills cost additional.
Portland Cider Co. will host a Cider Scrum with the Portland Rugby Club at Rose City Futsal East, located at 5010 NE Oregon St. in Portland. Meet the Portland Pigs––the players of the Portland Rugby Club––and learn the basics of rugby while playing a friendly game of 3V3 Futsal with the Pigs and Portland Cider crew. Win huge cider prizes, all in celebration of Portland Cider Co.’s new 19.2 “Proper Pint” cans that will be available for purchase at Clive’s Public House located in Rose City Futsal. The event is free to participate, but registration is recommended.
Portland Cider is opening a third pub location just for Oregon Cider Week at Function, located at 919 NW 23rd Ave. in Portland. The Pop Up Pub will feature exclusive Portland Cider Co. ciders and cajun food from Right Bayou Cajun. Admission is free, cider cocktails and food cost additional.
