2016 Cider Summit Seattle Takes Place September 9-10

The State of Washington will celebrate its booming craft cider industry with Washington Cider Week from September 8 – 18, 2016 with events throughout the entire state. The premiere event will converge on Seattle when Cider Summit Seattle returns to the South Lake Union Discover Center from September 9 – 10. Now in its seventh year, Cider Summit Seattle will pour nearly 200 ciders from 60 cider producers outdoors in the South Lake Union neighborhood.

The 7th Annual Cider Summit Seattle will kick off on Friday, September 9 at 3:00pm and will run until 8:00pm. Once again Cider Summit will offer a VIP Session on Friday from 2:00 to 3:00pm. Then on Saturday, September 10, the festival will run from Noon until 5:00pm.

Of the 200 or so ciders that will be poured, there will be nine states and six countries represented. Over 90 of the ciders have never been poured at Cider Summit Seattle. Plus, sixteen different fruit ciders have been produced for the 2nd annual Oregon Fruit Products Fruit Cider Challenge and the winner will be determined by consumer ballot.
