Each batch of cider contains no additional sulfites or sugars, just filtered Washington apple juice and yeast used to ferment it. This process leaves you with nothing but a pure and simple cider, the way it should be.
THE PROCESS
STEP 1:
PRESSING THE APPLES
ONCE RIPE, APPLES ARE HANDPICKED FROM ORCHARDS IN EASTERN WASHINGTON. APPLES ARE GROUND INTO A PULP THEN PRESSED, CREATING A SUGARY JUICE CALLED “MUST.”
STEP 2:
FERMANTATION
We blend our hard cider with FRESH-PRESSED juice without the use of any sulfites along the way to create wonderful apple notes in each of our recipes.
OUR STORY
Former engineer Trent Maier developed the recipe for Whiskey Barrel Cider and approached his friend and fellow engineer, Brian Augdahl, about the idea of building a space to create the recipe using local, Washington grown apples. The operation began with one delicious cider and has since developed into the creation of several signature ciders with the taste of Washington apples in every sip.

Each batch of cider contains no additional sulfites or sugars, just filtered Washington apple juice and yeast used to ferment it. This process leaves you with nothing but a pure and simple cider, the way it should be.
THE PROCESS
STEP 1:
PICKING THE APPLES
Apples grown throughout Washington arrive at our doorstep from storage facilities in the Yakima Valley. We create juice for our fermentation tanks as well as the final blend in our ciders.
STEP 2:
FERMANTATION
Once yeast is pitched, primary fermentation converts nearly all of the sugars into alcohol and secondary fermentation begins. Patiently waiting for three months, we let our ciders mature until they can be blended into one of our delicious recipes.
STEP 3:
POST-FERMENTATION
