Blue Mountain Cider Company is a family owned and operated cidery in Walla Walla that is dedicated to sustainable growing practices. As of this writing, you won’t find many reviews of their ciders on line, probably because they only recently expanded their distribution outside the Northwest US. Blue mountain took their time refining their craft, starting out as four friends making cider literally in a garage, using a small mountain source of fresh apples. As they got better at what they were doing, they sought more expertise by consulting with veteran cider makers in England, and by 2005/2006, they were beginning to win competitions. Blue Mountain Ciders lean toward clarity and crispness, and they highlight this character by using clear glass bottles for some of their ciders, instead of the more traditional brown or green. Looking for something more refreshing than wine and less filling than beer? Blue Mountain Cider may be your ticket.
