Since their launch in 2022, every cider \u0026amp; perry they've released has been one of our favorite bottles in the shop. (Side note: we've also had the pleasure of trying countless bottles of experimental batches and bottles from their archives, all of which have been highly impressive). In a few short years they've won countless awards for their ciders - most notably being crowned the Best New Cidery at the Northwest Cider Cup (2023), and Cider Maker of the Year at GLINTCAP for three consecutive years and counting (micro-scale category, 2023-2025). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eEmpyrical Cider was started by Adam Wargacki and Elizabeth Lockhart - partners in business and in life. They planted their own pome fruit orchard on their family's property in Snohomish, Washington. Notably, more than 400 of their 1500+ fruit trees are traditional perry pear varieties. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThey craft their cider and perry blends with an immense amount of thought and careful attention to detail - and the results are always stunning. Each of their releases is a very limited, small batch offering, and not to be missed. Easily the best perry maker in the United States, and their ciders are every bit as good. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empyrical Cider","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855546286296,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/7384\/9690\/files\/IMG-0222.jpg?v=1782106107","url":"https:\/\/www.pressthenpress.com\/products\/empyrical-cider-methode-perry-pear-cider-northwest-cider","provider":"Press Then Press Cider Shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
