Quick Facts: ABV: 5.0%  |  Origin: Corvallis, Oregon  |  Style: Fruit Cider  |  Producer: 2 Towns Ciderhouse

Production & Heritage

2 Towns Ciderhouse operates out of Corvallis, Oregon, where all fermentation takes place on-site using slow, cold fermentation methods designed to let the fruit character remain front and center. The base is fresh-pressed Northwest apple juice — never from concentrate — blended with ripe Costa Rica golden pineapples. The cider is left unfiltered and unpasteurized, preserving natural flavor complexity and a slightly hazy appearance that distinguishes it from more commercially processed pineapple ciders.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright, unmistakable fresh pineapple leads immediately, followed by subtle orchard apple and a faint green, grassy undertone. The nose reads like freshly cut tropical fruit rather than anything candied or artificial.

Taste: The entry is semi-sweet with a juicy pineapple punch that tastes authentic and ripe. Mid-palate, the apple base emerges to provide structure and a mild earthiness. A light tartness at the back keeps the sweetness balanced without veering into cloying territory — reviewers consistently note that the flavors taste distinctly real.

Finish: Medium-bodied with a hefty, smooth mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. The finish trails off with lingering tropical fruit and a clean, slightly tart close that invites another sip.

How to Drink Pacific Pineapple

Serve chilled straight from the can or poured into a pint glass to appreciate the hazy golden color and full aroma. It drinks beautifully on its own as a warm-weather refresher. For mixed drinks, try a Pineapple Cider Shandy by blending it half-and-half with a light wheat beer for added body; a Tropical Cider Spritz with a splash of coconut water and a lime wheel for a poolside serve; or a Spicy Pineapple Cider Mule with ginger beer and a dash of jalapeño hot sauce to play off the fruit's natural sweetness.

• Introducing non-beer drinkers to craft cider with an approachable, tropical flavor
• Pairing with grilled seafood or spicy Asian dishes at dinner
• Stocking a fridge for a weekend trip where variety and easy-drinking options matter
