Cider Summit – 2021 CiderCon Festival To-Go Tasting Kits

To coincide with the return of the 2021 CiderCon, the premier cider conference for cider makers, Cider Summit – 2021 CiderCon Festival returns with To-Go Tasting Kits. Yes, as the pandemic rages on and no clear end in sight for large gatherings, both CiderCon and Cider Summit will go virtual this year in February.

“We’ve traditionally held our Cider Summit Chicago event in conjunction with CiderCon in February,” said Alan Shapiro, Cider Summit founder and producer, in a statement. “Although the pandemic has changed the way events are operating, it’s still important to us to continue this tradition in some way and celebrate our amazing cider community.”

Cider Summit had been hosting cider festivals since 2013 and organizers are continuing on in this virtual format that began this past summer with Cider Summit – Portland. There will be two different Festival To-Go Tasting Kits with Festival Favorites and Artisanal Import. Both kits will be available for local pick up in Portland on February 6, 2021 or for shipment directly to your door via Press Then Press.

Each tasting kit contains a curated selection of ciders, 2 logo glasses, apple & pear stress balls, promotional gifts from participating cidermakers and access to our virtual event. The Artisanal Import kit also includes a Cider Summit bar towel. You can even add on a cider scented candle during checkout.
