Portland Cider Club

What's in the box: Hard ciders from Portland Cider Company's own range, though the site does not say how many or which styles come in each shipment.

Portland Cider Company has made hard cider in the Pacific Northwest since 2013. Its club, the Core Society, is the way for fans to get closer to the brand. The cidery says it uses Pacific Northwest apples, real fruit and whole ingredients, with no added sugar, artificial colors or additives. It also says it has won more than 100 awards, including the 2024 International Classic Cider Championship and a Best Cider in Portland title. That points to a lineup that is well regarded in the region. The main site does not explain how the club works. Membership tiers, how often shipments go out, how many cans or bottles each one holds and which states it ships to are not stated there. Read the club page carefully before you sign up. Alcohol shipping rules vary by state, and you must be 21 or older to buy. The site also mentions a taproom closure. If you hoped membership would include in-person pickup or taproom perks, check what is still offered. If you already enjoy this producer's year-round ciders, the club is a sensible way to keep them coming. If you are new to the brand, the missing details make it harder to judge the value.
