All around complex and tasty! This was also still on tap as of Sept 25.Īspall John Barrington: A 8.4% cider from Aspall in the UK. I loved the honey flavor which was bold but not overdone. On the sweet & syrupy side, but very flavorful. I’ve had both meads and ciders from Moonlight, and now a cyser. It was then barrel aged in Jim Beam barrels for 6 months. Moonlight Meadery The Last Apple: A 16% ABV cyser (when apple juice is blended with honey, then fermented). Highly recommended! They still had some of this on tap as of Sept 25 by the way. I loved the honey and almost floral notes. Definitely booze-forward, but I found it easily drinkable on its own when it was cold (and I usually don’t do straight alcohol). However, its not really cider at this ABV, more like apple brandy, apple jack, Pommeau, apple spirits, whatever you want to call it. I’m a little unclear as to how it was made (I heard once it was fortified with brandy and another time it was distilled cider). Schilling Barrel #2: A 21% ABV concoction which was barrel aged. Also, although I didn’t yet know it, I would also be trying some bottled cider!

I should have just gone for the full 6, as I think it ends up being cheaper, but I was holding out to try some 2 Towns stuff later. Then Mick found me and I went over to the cool kids table with the distributor dudes. I sat at the cider house bar for a few minutes to figure out what I wanted to start with. I picked up a tasty Caprese sandwich from across the street. It was officially 6-9pm (when the 2 Towns guys were there), but they had the 2 Towns selections on tap much earlier. I got there quite awhile before the event started. Sarah from Cider Log is the manager at the Schilling Cider House now, I finally got to meet Mick from Click Distributing (we’ve chatted on Facebook quite a bit), and I also met some folks from some other distributors as well. It was only my second time there, but I’ve already gone back for a third visit the following week.

You can’t beat their 32 cider tap selection! Plus they have a huge bottle selection, all chilled, and you can see every bottle and look at the label and such. I’m a fan of 2 Towns, and got to meet up with some great cider folks, so I was very happy nonetheless. I honestly would have rather gone to the Barrel Aged event they had the night before, but that didn’t work for my schedule.
The last Washington Cider Week event I attended was the 2 Towns Tap Night at the Schilling Cider House in the Fremont neighborhood from Seattle (Thurs Sept 17, 2015).
