The Art & Science of Our Cider
Crafting great cider isn’t just about pressing apples—it’s about balancing sugar, acid, and tannins to create something truly unique. At Channel Marker, every pour is the result of carefully sourced ingredients, thoughtful fermentation, and years of refinement.
From Orchard to Glass
Our journey starts in Eastern Washington, where we source the highest-quality apples—naturally rich in sugar and acid, providing a crisp, vibrant foundation. Unlike traditional cider-making regions that rely on tannic cider apples, we build complexity in other ways.
Infused for Depth & Character
Tannins are key to structure and mouthfeel, and we achieve them through co-fermenting with other fruits and infusing our ciders with botanicals. From the floral depth of lavender bergamot to the fiery brightness of habanero lime, each blend is crafted to push the boundaries of what cider can be.
A Constant Pursuit of Innovation
It’s taken years of trial and error to refine our process, and we’re always experimenting with new flavors, techniques, and ingredients. Every batch is a step forward—whether it’s a new infusion, a seasonal co-ferment, or an unexpected twist on a classic.
