Portland Cider Co (Craft Beer & Brewery in Clackamas OR)

Portland Cider Co lives in Clackamas, Oregon, and has turned the humble apple into a thing of almost heroic proportion. Their hard ciders are made in small batches using real fruit, and the result is a line‑up of crisp, refreshing flavours that could make a seasoned sommelier weep. Innovation sits politely beside tradition here, a balance that has netted more than a hundred prestigious awards – the crown jewel being the 2024 International Champion title.

Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for this outfit; it’s baked into the process. The Fruit Forward Drive encourages locals to dump their backyard apples into the kettle, turning idle fruit into award‑winning cider while padding the pockets of regional charities. Visitors can savour a unique cider flight, a showcase of the company’s breadth, and will find ample parking and a staff that actually seems to enjoy their jobs. Every bottle also carries a whisper of community spirit, with cider donations flowing to local non‑profits.

In short, Portland Cider Co delivers high‑quality, varied ciders that elevate any picnic, happy hour or quiet evening at home, all while proving that you can be both eco‑conscious and delightfully delicious. (The founders, long‑time friends, still argue over the perfect apple variety.)
