Cider Riot! ciders are, bar-none the best cider available. After running into Abram and trying their hopped cider Everybody's Pogo, I understood why ciders are becoming more and more popular. This particular cider is dry, crisp and delicious.
On their website they describe themselves like this:
Cider Riot is a crowd funded urban cidery in Portland Oregon dedicated to producing high quality ciders from Cascadian grown apples. With tradition as our guide andour roots firmly planted in the rich soils of our bioregion, our urban cidery will produce refreshing, flavorful ciders.
During the interview Abram addresses the apple shortage that we've been hearing about in the new, Kickstarter lessons, cider making, glycol free refrigeration, and details of embarking on this Cider venture.
Barley’s Angels Farm to Bottle event at Rogue Hop Farm featured a number of presentations, tours and tastings showcasing Terroir to table quality. Craft Brew Cast recorded Palate Tripspresented by Julia Herz and now, you too can take the Trip.
Amid hops and hives, rye and pumpkins in the Wigrich Appellation of Independence Oregon, while roosters crow, Julia lays the foundation for a journey, acquainting us with the flavors of each of five beer styles and how they compliment or diminish sweet, salty, spicy or acidic favors and what cuts through richness, calms acid, or balances spice. Then the tasting begins with Julia and participants sharing their impressions along the journey.
Assemble the following beer styles and food items to follow along: a pilsner, berliner weisse, brown, oatmeal stout, and imperial IPA, blue cheese, chocolate, feta, caramel corn, pepperoni, a slice of kosher dill pickle, and a dollop spicey mustard on a cracker.

Rogue Hop Farm is home to a historic "Hop-n-Bed", Chatoe Rogue tasting room, chickens, turkeys, bees, pot bellied pigs, hops yard, rye fields, gardens, the hop processing facilities, and the James and Frannie Coleman Conference Center. It is located along the 45th parallel, the "sweet spot" for hops growing in the Northern Hemisphere. During summer, the long periods of daylight and short periods of nighttime create ideal conditions for growing hops. This combination of long days and short nights are necessary to produce the hormones within the plant that stimulate growth of vines and flowers, leading to an abundance of cones for harvest in the fall.

At the beautiful Breakside Brewery in Portland, Oregon I interviewed Brew Master Ben Edmunds over 7 tasters of his fine craft beer. Each beer was an exquisite representation of it’s style. The quality of these brews is evidenced by the 2011 Great American Brew Festival medal awarded the Dry Irish Stout. This was no doubt one of many awards to come for this innovative brewery.
In this interview Ben tells us about Breakside from it’s beginnings through today’s expansion plans. He also shares the surprising fruits of collaborations with award winning chefs. Together they’ve created unique beers that subtly merge culinary flavors in complex layers. The teacher in him peeks out as he discloses “how to” details, tricks and tips including use of alternative ingredients. Chestnuts anyone?
His journey to becoming a professional craft brewer is surprising yet the approach he has taken may be a necessary one for those wishing to succeed in today’s Craft Brewing community.
Finally we wrap up the the program with a tour of this modest brewery, where the real magic begins.
