We simply cannot say enough good things about Empyrical Cider. Since their launch in 2022, every cider & perry they've released has been one of our favorite bottles in the shop. Already winners of countless awards for their ciders & perries - most notably Best New Cidery at the Northwest Cider Cup (2023), Cidery of the Year at NW Cup (2025), and Cider Maker of the Year at GLINTCAP for three consecutive years and counting (micro-scale category, 2023-2025). They craft their cider and perry blends with an immense amount of thought and careful attention to detail - and the results are always stunning. Each of their releases is a very limited, small batch offering, and not to be missed. Easily the best perry maker in the United States, and their ciders are every bit as good.
