Last week we went to Iceland. (I’ll blog about cider options in Iceland soon.)
The flights were out of Seattle, so we figured we’d hit up a liquor store on our way back.
The beer selection was well-above average.
The cider selection was the best I’ve ever seen.
It’s called Full Throttle Bottles.(5909 Airport Way S, Seattle, WA 98108)
From their website: Because Erika is an Anglophile, cider is like mother’s milk. There is an impressive and ever growing selection of hard ciders ranging from the very sweet to the very dry. This includes styles from unfiltered scrumpy to French sparkling ciders.
I came back with half a dozen. (Mainly ciders from Oregon and Washington.)
Once again, with similar climates and growing conditions, why doesn’t BC have such a great cider industry and a liquor store to carry them all?
Sigh.

Thanks so much for the lovely review! I DO love cider…I’m so happy so many other people love it too. And even happier that Washington has so many amazing cidermakers! Cheers to Cider! -Erika

Seriously, you are kicking ass. It kills me that it’s a 3+ hour drive for me to get there – AND if I want to bring back any amount, I have to stay for two days. Makes the cider love extra expensive!
Keep up the good work!

My pleasure…and sorry the drive is so long. 😦

Nice call on the Trapper and the Pirate’s Plank…don’t think you’ll be disappointed with those!
