Rick Bonino/SR reports: "The hard cider revival that’s been sweeping the nation is taking root in Coeur d’Alene. Both North Idaho Cider and Summit Cider began draft distribution late last year, and recently opened tasting rooms. While they share an appreciation for fermented apple juice, they’re following somewhat different routes to expressing that." More here.

DFO: I'm a bit confused. I thought Bent & KeithinCDA were the North Idaho Cider brain trust.

Question: I enjoy Hard Cider better than pub beer. How about you?
