The West Cider

Finding the best cider in BC and beyond

Best liquor store for cider (in Seattle, and possibly the West Coast)

 

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.
