These guys didn’t set out to make another sugary cider for the brunch crowd. They set out to reclaim cider’s seat at the table—next to the best craft beers and wines in the Northwest.
In this episode, we sit down with the founders of Two Towns Ciderhouse out of Corvallis, Oregon. What started as three dudes with backgrounds in fermentation, finance, and design turned into one of the biggest cider producers in the Northwest—with over 100 employees, multiple facilities, and shelves packed in 15+ states.
We talk about:
• 🍎 Why cider isn’t just fizzy apple juice
• 🚀 How they went from hobby to award-winning powerhouse
• 🔥 The weird, wild world of apples (and how each seed creates a brand-new variety)
• 🧪 Their take on fermentation, whole fruit, and bringing traditional techniques back from the dead
• 👀 What’s next for cider in Oregon—and why you should definitely hit up their Harvest Party
From European-style funk to crisp, acid-driven crushables, Two Towns isn’t playing by the old cider rules. This is a story about risk, craft, and why sometimes it takes three different brains to flip an industry on its head.
