The Schilling Cider House remains my favorite place for cider in Seattle. See my series of dozens of tasting notes HERE.
Hey! I’m a colleague of Aaron’s at Boeing and wanted to share a couple of favorite ciders of mine. Square Mile: Hard Apple Cider (they’re going for a real unique name there =P) and also Blackthorn: Gold (I believe). I’ll let you form your own opinions rather than give you my review =)
LikeLike
Hi Melissa–thanks for checking out my blog!
I had Square Mile Original awhile back but I think I literally got a bad bottle (apparently there was a recall around the same time for re-fermenting in the bottle), so I just picked up another one today actually. I’ve had Blackthorn (only one variety available in the U.S.). The “new” Strongbow is called “Gold” though. I’m not a fan of either of those, but Blackthorn is better than Strongbow. Crispin Browns Lane (tall green cans, at Fred Meyer or Total Wine) is pretty similar to Blackthorn and I like it better.
Some of my favorite commercial ciders are Woodchuck Winter & Private Reserve Barrel Select, Spire Mountain Dark & Dry, & Crispin Browns Lane.
Some of my favorite craft ciders are Reverend Nat’s Revival, Thistly Cross Whisky Cask (Traditional is pretty similar if you find that though), 2 Towns the Bad Apple, Eaglemount Quince, Alpenfire Spark, and Finnriver Lavender Black Currant.
Good places around here to buy cider are Total Wine, Full Throttle Bottles (Georgetown), & Special Brews (Lynnwood). We’re sure lucky to live in the PNW where there is so much cider.
Cider Says is also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CiderSays
Maybe we’ll see you at CIder Summit? I have a feeling I’ll be there all day both days, as its only 5 hours each day and there are 160+ ciders to try. 🙂

Hey Kate!
(sorry it took so long for me to get back to you)
Thank you for sharing these cider names with me! I’ll have to try them 🙂
Also very cool about Crispin Brown Lanes. I will have to try it for sure soon!
I do plan on going to Cider Summit and I hope to see you there! Aaron tells me you are planning to spend the night down there. That’s a great idea! I’ll have to think about doing that as well =) would certainly be something new to do, and would encourage us to try some of the restaurants in that area that we’ve been meaning to try.
