Cider Summit Portland won't be stopped! It will just change shape and continue flowing like the liquid gold it celebrates, via this clever workaround: While a giant gathering outdoors is not a good idea in summer of 2020 (and on top of that, the governor won't allow it anyway), the Cider Summit experience can still be had by pre-ordering a tasting kit that includes eight ciders, two glasses, a bar towel, and promotional gifts. You can then either have that kit delivered to you (so long as you're in a serviced zip code) or you can come to the Benton parking lot at Veterans Memorial Coliseum and pick it up. Once you have your kit at home, log on to the virtual "Meet the Cidermakers" event starting at 6:30pm, featuring the people who made the cider you'll be drinking, and live music from Norman Sylvester.
