SWIFT CIDER – Swift makes craft hard cider in Portland, Oregon. Our traditional and modern ciders use fresh-pressed, locally-grown apples, natural fermentation, and whole fruit and botanical infusions. Swift is independently owned and distributed throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. You can procure our libations online, at Pacific Northwest retailers, and at the taproom in Portland.

THE SWIFTS – Our namesake, the Vaux's swifts, flock to Portland each harvest season by the thousands to roost inside old brick chimneys on their annual migration. Locals convene on blankets to toast the birds as they dive into one particular chimney at sunset. The swifts connect us with our local community, inspire our natural process and challenge us to create remarkable ciders for the whole flock.

HARD CIDER – Hard cider is fermented apple or pear juice with 5 - 8% alcohol by volume. Traditional ciders are made with heirloom apples and modern ciders use "table" apples that you can find at the grocery store. There are many styles of cider and some include additional ingredients like berries, pineapples, hops, oak, wine grapes, chilis, sea salt, and more. Many ciders are too sweet, but not Swift!
