We are now in the throes of Washington Cider Week. I know that many of you beer lovers also appreciate good cider, so I probably could be doing more to help promote this ongoing celebration of cider. Pubs and bottleshops around the state are hosting all sorts of cider tasting events all week long. At least one brewery is getting in on the action. I suppose you could say it’s a show of solidarity – craft brewers and artisan cider makers are practically kin, after all.
Our friends down at Airways Brewing (blog sponsor) informed us today of the events they’re hosting this week at the Airways Beer & Bistro in downtown Kent. One of the events features cider from Seattle Cider Company, which is joined at the hip with Two Beers Brewing Company (blog sponsor). In that case, cider and beer actually are kin.
Visit the Cider Week website for a complete list of events.

Available from 11am-9pm.

We’ll be pairing one of our most requested ciders, Tieton’s Cherry Cider, with a whitefish salad with mangoes, micro cilantro, and gazpacho sauce. Available from 11am-10pm. Jennie from Tieton will be at the Bistro from 5-7pm to talk about the cider, and maybe bring a few surprises.

We’ll be serving up rustic sourdough flatbread with cambazola pears, pancetta, and arugula; smoked salmon quesadillas with charred onion vinaigrette salad; and blueberry smash cake with lavender. Available between 11am-10pm. Come by between 5-7pm to meet Eric, and maybe win something!
