Swift Cider is an award-winning craft hard cider company in Portland, Oregon. We are named after Portland’s favorite bird, the Vaux’s Swifts that roost in old local chimneys every harvest season. Swift makes ciders for the whole flock, which includes a flagship line of dry cider, rotating fruit ciders, cocktail-inspired ciders, brandy-infused cider, hard tea, hard kombucha, hard water kefir, and more. In addition to our own ciders, we work with our favorite local beverage makers to blend and co-pack their alcoholic and non-alcoholic products in our ciderhouse.
Our small and dedicated team makes delicious cider that manifests creativity, community and sustainability. As we grow, we work hard to build a business and a community that reflects our values:Â
Prioritize flavor first
Source fresh, locally-grown ingredientsÂ
Embrace the art of creative risk-taking
Grow cider culture through education
Build equitable communities with local partners
Steward our planet with ecologically sustainable practices
Care for our people: employees, partners, and cider fans
Communicate honestly to build trust
Stay humble; we are lucky to make and sell hard cider for a living
Have fun, dance like no one’s watching, wing it!
