Press Release

PORTLAND, OR. ... Just in time for summer sipping, Northwest Cider Association’s premier NW Cider Club debuts their latest, expertly-curated cider line up, Picnic Perfect.

The club’s new release is focused on ciders that pair well with summer fare. Picnic Perfect ciders include a range from low abv offerings, to red-fleshed ciders, from fruit and spiced ciders, to handcrafted perries– celebrating the range of flavors innovative cidermakers are dreaming up in the Pacific Northwest.

Packed for adventure and fully summer-ready, NW Cider Club’s Picnic Perfect release includes 10 unique selections that keep pace with tastemakers who want to try new things and savor the good life. Inspired by the kind of endless summer that memories are made of, the Picnic Perfect line-up offers handcrafted ciders from small, island-based apple orchards in Washington, solar-powered pear orchards in Southern Oregon, and those made with fresh fruit from Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. Whether you’re keeping it low-key with backyard barbeques, languishing lakeside or scouting mountain tops, pairing is easy this season with NW Cider Club.

Cider lovers can join the club, gift a quarterly subscription, or order a one-time box until May 18th for early June shipping. Each box is curated by a professional team of cider experts and includes four to ten ciders (see below for club options), tasting notes and cheese pairing ideas from Whole Foods’ fromager. Subscriptions can be held or stopped anytime with no cancellation fees, and shipping is available to most states in the US. Shipping and handling not included in prices below.

NW Cider Club was launched in fall 2020 by the NWCA, a non-profit, member trade association that supports and promotes Pacific Northwest ciders to people across the nation. Cideries, who were hit hard by closures early in the pandemic, had to act fast and bring their shops online. The NWCA worked nimbly and created the club as a new direct sales opportunity for members. In little over a year the club has grown to more than 500 members across the country.
