Tieton Cider Works Cider Club

What's in the box: Limited release ciders from Tieton Cider Works, made with fruit from the cidery's family farm in the Yakima Valley.

Tieton Cider Works makes cider in the Yakima Valley from fruit grown on its own third generation farm in Tieton, Washington. The Cider Club is how the cidery gets its limited release ciders to regular drinkers. Members receive limited release flavors and invitations to exclusive events, and they get discounts on cider and merchandise. The cidery ships to a fairly long list of states, including California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Washington, but not to all of them, so check that yours is covered before you sign up. The site does not say how often shipments go out, how many bottles come in each one, or what the club costs, so look at the club page for those details before you commit. The event invitations are worth the most to people who can get to the Cider Bar in Yakima, which runs tastings, events and outdoor games. If you live far away, the value comes down to the limited release cider and the member discounts. This club fits drinkers who already like Tieton's ciders or who want small batch releases from a real orchard. Anyone who wants a wide sampler from many cideries should look at a multi producer club instead.
