Event
June Tasting
We are excited to be tasting something a little different this month as we will be experiencing something other than wine. We will be tasting six fabulous ciders from Tieton Cider Works which was originally launched in Tieton itself in 2008 by Craig and Sharon Campbell, third generation farmers, before moving to their current location in Yakima. The cider is made from fruit grown in their own Harmony Orchards which is land that has been in their family since the 1920's and has been farmed organically for the past 30 years. They blend American heritage, English and French cider varieties with our organically grown dessert apples to capture the best of what each variety brings to the bottle: sweetness, acidity, tannin and aroma. The results are ciders with body and a depth of finish. (You can learn much more about their ciders and their suggested food pairings and cocktails on their web site). Fred Lopez, Cider Bar Manager, will be taking us through our different pours. We will begin the evening with a pear flavored greeting cider (glasses will be provided). The other five flavors of cider we will be tasting are Cherry Blend, Apricot Blend, Apple Draft, Rambling Roots and Dry Hop. The event will also include a tour of the facility by Marcus Rober, cider maker.
Tieton Cider works is offering a 10% discount on all bottles of cider purchased the evening of the event, and a 15% discount if you become a club member (forms available at the event). There will also be a limited amount of wine provided by Stems.
Food for the evening will be gourmet pizza on site provided by HopTown Pizza. The mobile pizza joint is run by Lori Roy and Carrie Wright, who both grew up as farmers' daughters. Actual hops serve as some inspiration in their pizza making endeavor because most of the pizzas they serve up are sprinkled with hops on top. HopTown's menu includes six versions of its wood-fired pizzas. They have set up shop in Track 29's parking lot outside of the newly opened HopNation Brewery, Wednesday through Saturday from 4 to 8 pm.
