One last hurrah, and one seriously great brewery
While the Seattle Cider Taproom will close permanently at the end of February, the company has invited one last brewery to serve as its Brewery in Residence for the final month. And it’s a good one: pFriem Family Brewers of Hood River, Oregon. In February, they’ll turn over a bunch of taps to pFriem, offer a rotating, curated selection of beers, and host some special events.
The residency, which they’re calling pFriem pFebruary, allows local Seattle-area beer lovers to experience a broad sampling of what makes pFriem Family Brewers one of the region’s most esteemed breweries without traveling to Hood River. For the uninitiated, the Seattle Cider Taproom offers a lot of its cider on tap, as well as a surprisingly robust selection of regional beers. In February, expect the beer lineup to focus on pFriem.
Not just pilsner and IPA, but those things too
You’ll find core favorites, seasonal offerings, and limited releases rarely available away from pFriem’s taproom in Hood River. Weekly tasting flights at the Seattle Cider Taproom will highlight the depth and range of pFriem’s portfolio, offering guests a chance to explore styles that have helped make the brewery one of the most respected names in the Pacific Northwest.
The partnership also marks a meaningful moment for Seattle Cider Taproom, as February will be the taproom’s final month of operation. True to its roots, Seattle Cider chose to close this chapter by celebrating the craft beverage community and partnering with a brewery that shares its values around quality, hospitality, and collaboration.
“pFriem represents everything we love about craft: intention, excellence, and community,” said Felix Madrid, General Manager of Seattle Cider. “pFriem pFebruary felt like the perfect way to end this chapter on a high note.”
“We’re honored to be part of Seattle Cider Taproom’s final month,” said Jeff Gaither, pFriem Family Brewing Sales & Marketing Director. “This partnership is about celebrating what makes the craft community special and raising a glass together.”
A fitting farewell to a familiar friend
Since opening, Seattle Cider Taproom has served as a gathering place for cider lovers and beer fans alike, consistently featuring independent Northwest breweries alongside its own lineup of fresh-pressed ciders. Even as the taproom prepares to close, that commitment to supporting local and regional craft remains central to its mission.
pFriem pFebruary invites the community to come together one last time in the taproom — to celebrate collaboration, craftsmanship, and the relationships that define the Pacific Northwest beverage scene.
