Sponsored Press Release
In just one year, Seattle Cider Company - Seattle’s first and only cidery since Prohibition - has grown larger than its team could have ever expected. Launching with a mission to bring dry, flavorful ciders to the Pacific Northwest, bridging the gap between wine and beer, Seattle Cider now nears its one-year anniversary with an expansion set to make them the second largest cidery in the state. Selling through more than 83,000 cases of cider in just one year, the growing cidery is expanding both its capacity and market availability, now reaching four states and three countries. To celebrate, Seattle Cider Company will be marking the milestone with its biggest party yet on Saturday, August 23.
“We’ve had an incredible and unexpected year,” said Joel VandenBrink, founder of Seattle Cider Company. “We knew there was demand for a new type of cider, but couldn’t have anticipated the overwhelming positive response our products have received. Needless to say, we’re thrilled and can’t wait to continue our expansion.”
Adding an additional five 60bbl tanks and quadrupling its staff, Seattle Cider Company is now able to produce more than 235,000 cases of cider per year. The increased capacity comes just in time for Seattle Cider Company’s expansion to Chicago, Vancouver, BC and Japan – joining Washington, Oregon and Alaska – with plans for expansion on the East Coast, California and throughout the Midwest in the works. With increased demand for products that break the mold of overly sweet cider, Seattle Cider Company plans to continue to produce unique flavorful ciders, bringing the true and natural flavors of Washington apples to the forefront.
To celebrate, on Saturday, August 23 from 1-7pm, Seattle Cider Company will open its doors for a party unlike any other with more than 15 of its own ciders on tap. In addition to its usual (but still unique) lineup, on tap will be an array of limited edition ciders pouring only at the party. The current anniversary cider lineup includes:
Ciders will be available for purchase between $4-$6 per 12-ounce glass. Packaged product will be available to go. In addition, the first 500 people to arrive will receive a free Seattle Cider Company poster. Additional t-shirts, growlers, posters and glassware will be available for purchase. Popular free food truck NaanSense will be onsite throughout the day serving up a delicious gluten-free menu.
Seattle Cider products can be found in stores and on tap throughout Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Illinois, with growing list of locations available at seattlecidercompany.com. Tastings, pints and packaged products are also available at The Woods tasting room, which shares the space with Two Beers Brewing Co.

About Seattle Cider Company
Not your standard cider. Seattle Cider Company is the city’s first cidery since prohibition, bringing true craft cider back to Seattle. Bridging the gap between wine and beer with flavorful, small-batch cider, Seattle Cider’s initial offerings – Dry and Semi-Sweet – break the mold of overly sweet cider, bringing the natural flavors of Washington apples to the forefront. Naturally gluten free and made from a custom blend of fresh pressed, locally grown apples, Seattle Cider’s products are handcrafted with all natural ingredients and never from concentrate, successfully distinguishing themselves from the mass market cider found in stores today. Available in 16-ounce cans, Seattle Cider products are available at retailers and bottle shops throughout Seattle. Seattle Cider is also available on tap in Seattle-area bars and restaurants, with tastings, kegs and growler fills available at The Woods tasting room, located at 4700 Ohio Ave. S. in SoDo, open weekly Tuesday - Saturday.
