Peaches have always felt slightly unreal in the Pacific Northwest — too soft, too fragrant, too dripping-with-sunshine for a region better known for rain jackets, blackberries, and people discussing trail conditions over coffee. And yet every summer they arrive anyway, glowing in roadside farm stands like fuzzy little miracles, all juice and perfume and sticky-fingered optimism. This flight leans hard into that energy. Some pours keep the peach bright and orchard-clean, others wander into bourbon barrels, tropical tangles, raspberry flickers, or peated whiskey shadows, but every glass carries that same lush heartbeat beneath it all. Five ciders, one fruit, and a gentle reminder that sometimes the messiest, ripest things in life are also the most worth chasing. Welcome to Peaks & Pints Monday Cider Flight: Peaches. Let’s get ot drinking. …
Peaks & Pints Monday Cider Flight: Peaches
Bauman’s Cider Peach Raspberry
6.4% ABV | Fruit Cider | Gervais, Oregon
Bauman’s Cider lets peaches glide in soft and golden before raspberry flicks a bright tart spark across the palate, the fruit balancing sweetness and snap with the easy confidence of late summer refusing to end, all orchard warmth and berry brightness tangled together like juice running down your wrist at a roadside farm stand.
Incline Cider Juicy Peach
6.9% ABV | Peach Hard Cider | Tacoma, Washington
Bright peach perfume rises from Incline Cider‘s Juicy Peach like summer finally deciding to relax, the fruit lush and sunlit while crisp apple keeps everything moving with an easy, refreshing snap — playful, smooth, and just juicy enough to feel like biting into ripe peach flesh over the sink while the afternoon stretches lazily around you.
Tieton Bourbon Barrel Peach
6.9% ABV | Bourbon Barrel-Aged Peach Cider | Tieton, Washington
Ripe peach drifts through the glass with a soft, golden sweetness before Tieton Cider Works lets bourbon barrel notes roll in behind it — vanilla, oak, a faint plum-like warmth — the whole thing balanced by tart apple that keeps the orchard pulse alive beneath the richer edges, like peach cobbler cooling on a windowsill somewhere not far from a well-stocked whiskey shelf.
Greenwood Cider Peatch
8.4% ABV | Peated Whiskey Barrel-Aged Peach Cider | Seattle, Washington
Smoke curls quietly around the edges of this glass, where ripe peach and crisp apple drift through peated whiskey barrel character like orchard fruit wandering too close to a campfire after dark, the oak lending a dry, tannic structure while the fruit keeps everything glowing softly beneath the haze. Greenwood Cider‘s Peatch is strange, elegant, and just reckless enough to become unforgettable.
Avid Cider Peach Bellini
10.5% ABV | Imperial Peach Cider Cocktail | Bend, Oregon
Avid Cider offers sun-warmed peach with all the lazy confidence of late brunch turning into early afternoon, the fruit lush and juicy while crisp apple and sparkling wine-like brightness keep everything lifted just enough to avoid slipping into syrupy excess — playful, boozy, and faintly decadent, like someone spiked the orchard picnic and nobody objected.
