We woke up hoarse, grinning, and slightly unsteady this morning — the good kind of unsteady — after watching the Seattle Seahawks finish the job and bring the Super Bowl Vince Lombardi Trophy home. Last night was loud and communal and cathartic, the kind of win that spills out of living rooms and bars and into the streets, reminding the city how good it feels to believe together. Today, Peaks & Pints keeps that energy rolling in a quieter, glass-raised way, celebrating the victory with a Monday flight built entirely from Seattle-made ciders. No confetti cannons, no fireworks — just apples, patience, and a little swagger, turning one unforgettable Sunday night into a long, satisfied Monday.
Peaks & Pints Monday Seattle Victory Ciders
Yonder Cider Thunderpussy
6.9% ABV | Fruit Cider with Black Cherry & Ginger
Dark fruit and electricity crackle through this one, a cider that struts instead of strolls, all black cherry voltage and ginger snap stitched onto a clean apple frame. The aroma arrives bold but focused — ripe cherry skin, a flicker of spice, a citrus wink that keeps things sharp — before the sip lands lively and taut, letting tart fruit and warming ginger trade riffs without tipping into sweetness. Built with confidence and control, Thunderpussy drinks dry-leaning and energetic, playful but composed, like a Halftime show where every note still lands on purpose. Seattle-based Yonder Cider proves here that loud names don’t require loud sugar when balance, bite, and a little swagger are already doing the work.
Channel Marker Strawberry Jam
6.5% ABV | Strawberry-Infused Apple Cider
This one pours like a memory you didn’t realize you were saving — ripe strawberries warmed by sun, apple underneath keeping everything honest, nothing sliding into cartoon sweetness. Fresh berry skin and a hint of citrus lift lead the aroma, like opening a jar of whoopass twisted just loose enough to breathe. Seattle-based Channel Marker Cider lets fruit arrive first but never overstay, jammy in suggestion rather than texture, carried by crisp apple acidity that keeps the line clean and the finish quick. There’s a playful wink here, but also discipline, a cider that feels nostalgic without turning sentimental and disappears just fast enough to make you reach for another.
Offset Ciderworks Cranberry + Spice
6.1% ABV | Fruit & Spice Cider
This cider slides into the glass like a crackling fire in a cool room — crisp apple and pear flesh first, then tart cranberries weaving through cinnamon, nutmeg, and a flicker of ginger warmth that feels like a sweater, not a spotlight. The aroma leans festive yet grounded, all orchard air and spiced fruit, while the sip balances gentle sweetness with bright acidity and a cozy, hearth-side clarity. Seattle-based Offset Ciderworks shows real restraint here, letting spice and fruit feel both comforting and invigorating without tipping into holiday overload. It’s a pour built for football conversations, shared tables, and laughter that lingers longer than planned.
Greenwood Prickly Pear
6.7% ABV | Apple & Pear Cider with Prickly Pear
Color arrives first — a vivid blush that reads more desert sunset than Northwest drizzle — before the aroma opens into tart cactus fruit, cool orchard air, and a faint floral wink that pulls you in closer. Built on a clean base of Washington apples and pears, prickly pear streaks across the field with bright, watermelon-adjacent tang and a citrusy snap that keeps everything alert and upright. Seattle-based Greenwood Cider keeps the sip lively and composed, fruit-forward without tumbling into candy, acidity doing the quiet work of balance beneath the glow.
Seattle Cider Odyssey Imperial Cider
8.4% ABV | Imperial Hard Cider
Odyssey begins with a custom blend of Washington apples, fermented and finished with just enough brown sugar to deepen the fruit rather than sweeten it outright. At 8.4 percent, it carries a confident, warming presence — fresh apple flesh up front, followed by suggestions of stone fruit, melon rind, and a soft molasses whisper that adds resonance without softening the line. Seattle Cider Company keeps the structure firm and deliberate, acidity holding everything upright as the cider moves toward a long, steady finish. It drinks less like a novelty and more like a journey taken on purpose, strength, fruit, and patience sharing the wheel instead of fighting for attention.
