Its distribution network extends to California, Colorado, and Washington. The company produces approximately 300,000 gallons of cider annually and annually crafts a community cider using apples and pears contributed by local residents.
Portland Cider has partnered with the Hillsboro Hops to develop innovative beverages.
Taprooms
The company has managed three taprooms situated in Clackamas, Portland, and Beaverton. The Beaverton location was the third to be launched. The Portland taproom located on Hawthorne Boulevard closed its doors in 2024. At the Clackamas site, Portland Cider has featured distinctive food pairings such as fondue accompanied by apples, cheeses, pickles, and apple-rhubarb mustard.
