Northwest Cider Club

What's in the box: The site doesn't describe a box; instead it offers ways to find cideries, event listings, and a free monthly newsletter.

If you're looking for a Northwest Cider Club box at nwcider.com, you'll find something different. The site belongs to the Northwest Cider Association, a regional trade group for cideries in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia. The site doesn't describe a subscription club, membership tiers, or regular shipments. It also doesn't say how you would order a box or what one would cost. What it does offer is still useful. A cider finder helps you find award-winning Northwest cideries, a map helps you plan tasting trips, and there are guides to cider and suggested food pairings. A news section collects recent press coverage of the regional industry. An events calendar lists festivals and markets around the Pacific Northwest, and the front page sells tickets for the festival season. Separate sections serve cidermakers and trade buyers. A free monthly newsletter covers cider news and Northwest events. If you want cider delivered to your door on a schedule, you can't sign up for that here. You'd do better buying straight from individual cideries, many of which run their own clubs. If you want to learn about Northwest cider and find producers worth ordering from, the site is a good, noncommercial place to start.
