<\/a><\/div>\nFrom Double Mountain<\/a>: <\/p>\n Get your 2025 Seasonal Ciders While You Still Can!<\/i><\/p>\n We\u2019re excited to roll out our full 2025 Seasonal Cider lineup, a lineup that means a lot to us. These six ciders: Perry, Ashmead, Estate, Maybelline, Zora, and Harrison, are all handcrafted right here in the Hood River Valley, using local fruit and traditional methods that let the apples and pears speak for themselves.<\/i><\/p>\n At Double Mountain, we never back sweeten our ciders. What you\u2019re tasting is the fruit, plain and simple. Most of it comes from nearby orchards, including our very own Swihart Orchards, where the apples grow wild, weird, and full of character. Fermented with native yeast and aged with patience, these ciders reflect the land they come from and the people who grow the fruit.<\/i><\/p>\n Let\u2019s break it down:<\/i><\/p>\n Perry is our ode to the Hood\u2019s legendary pears. It\u2019s made entirely from local fruit and comes out elegant, aromatic, and just tannic enough to keep things interesting. It\u2019s a classic, and it\u2019s here to stay.<\/i><\/p>\n Ashmead is back, built around the curious and delightful Ashmead\u2019s Kernel apple. It\u2019s got that old-school orchard funk, bright acidity, soft tannin, and a big, round body. It\u2019s everything we love about traditional cider.<\/i><\/p>\n Estate remains one of our most special ciders. We make it using cider apples grown at our own orchard. Fermented with ambient yeast and aged with care, it\u2019s dry, earthy, and layered with complexity.<\/i><\/p>\n * Available on draft only, bottles are already gone.<\/i><\/p>\n Maybelline is back with her usual flair. She\u2019s a blend of apples and pears that starts crisp and dry, then opens up into citrus and melon with a little orchard funk at the finish. Off-dry, juicy, and just a touch mysterious.<\/i><\/p>\n Zora is the wild one, new to the lineup and already turning heads. She\u2019s tart, juicy, and packed with natural fermentation character. If you like your cider raw and adventurous, Zora\u2019s your gal.<\/i><\/p>\n * Available in bottles only, draft is already sold out.<\/i><\/p>\n Harrison is our nod to cider history. This heritage apple dates back to the 1700s and brings a golden richness and natural complexity that reminds us why folks fell in love with it in the first place.<\/i><\/p>\n As Matt Swihart (our brewmaster and orchard guy) puts it: \u201cThese ciders aren\u2019t sweetened or dressed up, they\u2019re raw expressions of the orchard and the land we love.\u201d And that\u2019s really what it\u2019s all about.<\/i><\/p>\n You can grab these seasonal ciders now, most are available in limited 500ml refillable bottles and on draft at our taprooms. You can also <\/i>order bottles online from our cider store<\/i><\/a>, and we\u2019ll ship them straight to your door.<\/i><\/p>\n Stop by, stock up, and raise a glass to the fruit that made us who we are. Cheers!<\/i><\/p>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<\/i><\/p>\n
