Peaks and Pints celebrates World Cider Day
Peaks & Pints presents a World Cider Day celebration Saturday, June 3 at our craft beer and cider bar, bottle shop and restaurant in Tacoma’s Proctor District. We’ll triple our cider taps on our Western red cedar tap log from open to close.
People worldwide have known how to make cider for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence shows that ancient European and Asian cultures used apples to make a crude version of cider as early as 6500 B.C. The art of cider making improved over the years as people developed a better understanding of the factors that impact cider flavor. During the sixth century, a profession of skillful brewers was established in Europe. These people made beer-like beverages and also cider. By the 16th century, Normandy became one of the largest cider-making areas in the world. Experimentation with different types of apples ensued, which resulted in better tasting ciders. England and colonial America also produced cider during this time and it became an important part of each culture. The ciders of this time period were inconsistent however, as small farmers each had their own methods of manufacture. The technology of cider production made significant improvements over time as people developed a better understanding of each step in the cider making process. These days, cider is a highly controllable operation, which results in a dependable, good-tasting product. Stop by Peaks & Pints Saturday and celebrate cider.
