Eaglemount Cidery On Tap
September 10th, 2010
Eaglemount Cidery, just south of Port Townsend, has kegged a whole 1/2 barrel of its Ginger Cider for the Harbour Public House. On tap any day now, the cider is crafted in the English Dry Cider tradition – a welcome addition to the pub’s fourteen taps. “I’m really excited about it!” claims Angie Payne, the pub’s bar and dining room manager, “there are so few truly dry ciders that are from Washington.” Their cider is made from local apples both from their homestead and the surrounding area. While not certified organic, the ingredients are all farmed using organic methods.
Flavored with ginger root, it’s clean and crisp, and boasts 8% ABV. Eaglemount is situated on a 100 year old homestead, just off from Eaglemount Road, and is one of three Cideries that have recently opened their doors near Port Townsend. The others are Finn River Cidery and Wildfire Cidery.

Great article on local ciders. It is wonderful to learn more about some of the local vendors and products you feature in your restaurants. Supporting “local” is so important these days and connecting with your food. I will incorporating these ciders into my Thanksgiving spread as well.
