Portland Cider Welcomes Back Concord Grape and Elevates Pear Lychee to Year-Round Status
Portland Cider Company is ringing in the new year with the return of two fan-favorite flavors, as Concord Grape makes its seasonal comeback and Pear Lychee officially joins the cidery’s year-round core lineup. Both ciders were previously released as limited small-batch Proper Pint offerings in 2025, and are now returning due to overwhelming demand.
Concord Grape: A Beloved Winter Seasonal Returns
Available January through April
Bursting with tangy grapes and fresh Northwest apples, Concord Grape tastes like it’s been plucked straight from the vine. This vibrant cider delivers a delightful balance of tart and sweet, blending sun-ripened Concord grapes with crisp apples for a refreshing yet cozy winter sip.
Grape-forward on the nose and palate, the initial taste showcases sweet-tart grape character, followed by a subtle, semi-sweet apple finish. Delicate carbonation enhances the fruit-forward profile without overpowering it.
“We’re excited to bring Concord Grape back as our winter seasonal,” said Jeff Parrish, co-owner of Portland Cider Company. “It’s bold, bright, and incredibly drinkable, and really hits the spot during these colder months.”
Pear Lychee: From Small Batch to Everyday Favorite
Now Available Year-Round
Also returning is Pear Lychee, now promoted to Portland Cider’s year-round core lineup. This cocktail-inspired hard cider blends juicy pears with exotic lychee for a harmonious, aromatic experience that feels both refreshing and indulgent.
Each sip opens with aromas of ripe pears and lush lychee, layered with subtle floral undertones. The juicy sweetness of pears leads the way, followed by bright, tropical lychee notes and a crisp, refreshing finish balanced by gentle acidity.
“Pear Lychee quickly proved it deserved a permanent place in our lineup,” said Lynda Parrish, co-owner of Portland Cider Company. “It’s approachable, unique, and transports you somewhere warm and sunny, no matter the season.”
Both Concord Grape and Pear Lychee are available at retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest and on draft at Portland Cider Company’s Clackamas taproom. Cider fans can locate these and other Portland Cider offerings using the company’s online Cider Finder.
