Staff Picks: Storie's Favorite Ciders For Fall (6-Pack)

6 bottles of cider, from left to right: Eve's Dabinett, Rose Hill Farm Selection Suspendue, Barmann Cellars Fire in the Hole, South Hill Cider Coferment, Wofkin Sigrid, Durham Henri & Luci

As the weather starts shifting and the days get shorter, I find myself reaching mostly for ciders that are rich with with prominent tannins. These are some ciders I've recently tasted that meet what I'm looking for this season, which also work really well paired with an array of fall season foods.

Pssst: The 12-bottle bundle includes both my picks and Erik's current staff picks and comes at a discount (basically a free cider if you buy both bundles).

*Note the ciders pictured are not necessarily what is in the bundle; what's listed below is what is included in this bundle.

1. South Hill Cider, String Theory (750 mL) - From one of my longtime favorite cider makers, this cider is made from a blend of Dabinett, Chisel Jersey, Geneva Tremlett's, and Granny Smith apples. Wild fermented slowly over 7 months, and then bottled Pét Nat for a natural sparkle. Rich and well-balanced.

2. Oliver's Cider & Perry, Juiced Perry (750 mL) - As the name implies, this is a nice and juicy perry! Made from a blend of at least 40 different perry pear varietals from an orchard in Ocle Pychard, near Oliver's cidery in the UK. Sparkling with medium sweetness, mouthwatering acidity, and integrated tannins.

3. Western Cider, Golden Russet (750 mL) - Made from one of my favorite cider (and eating) apples, the Golden Russet. Light bodied at first sip, with floral and tropical notes followed by a wash of juicy acidity and velvety tannins that linger on the finish.

4. Raging Cider & Mead, Got Crabs!?!? Series IV (500 mL) - Got Crabs is always one of my favorite regular releases from Raging Cider. This release (series #4) is made from a blend of six different crabapples: Hyslop, Hewes, Floribunda, Lost Crab, Transcendent, and Evereste. Dry with fruity aromas, nice acidity, and grippy astringent tannins. Notes of black cherry, lime zest, violet, and slate.

5. Presque Isle Farm Cider, Foxwhelp (750 mL) - A single-varietal cider made from Foxwhelp apples fermented using Saison yeast, which lends this cider some nice supporting floral notes. Aged in Calvados barrels before bottling. Dry with leathery tannins and bold acidity. Notes of citrus zest, apple skin, and orange blossom, with a light creaminess.

6. Brooklyn Cider House, Porter's Perfection (750 mL) - Porter's Perfection apples just may be my favorite cider apple variety, and this cider from Brooklyn Cider House does not disappoint. This cider drinks dry and fruity with bright tartness and pithy tannins.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping a 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order.

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.

Orders can be picked up for free at Makeda & Mingus, a coffee shop and community space in the Greenwood neighborhood. They are open everyday from 7AM-5PM. Orders are made available for pickup within 1-3 days.
