Spotlight: North Idaho Cider
As some of you know, KeithinCDA & Bent have been part of Huckleberries Online for some time. Now, Keith and Bent are making their mark on the growing apple cider brew industry, along with partner Matt Peterson. Here's a report from Tara Morgan of Cidercraft:
Mountains swell up to the south of North Idaho Cider’s taproom, located near the resort town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Inside the apple-adorned space, patrons nurse pints of dry cider on a polished bar crafted from an old bowling alley lane. North Idaho Cider—run by Matt Peterson, Jeff Selle and Keith Allen—opened its tasting room in late December 2014. We sat down with Keith Allen to learn more about one of Idaho’s first cideries.
