Artisan Series
UK apples, UK approach
Our Artisan Series ciders represent (for us) larger-volume releases typified by UK cultivars and a UK-style maker approach. Given the “vintage” quality of the bittersweet and bittersharp varietals grown for them, these ciders are big on personality - and represent many of our most distinctive, well-loved offerings. Look for Artisan Series ciders in select PNW grocery stores, bottle shops, at our downtown Spokane taproom, or purchase online.

Brown’s Apple
Noticeably pink from the apple’s red flesh, this single-varietal cider’s pleasant, bittersweet nose leads to baked apple, strawberry, stone fruit and burnt sugar flavors. Like all Liberty ciders, this offering is wild-fermented, dry and fruit-forward, showcasing the wonders of lovingly-grown, Inland Northwest apples.
Suggested Pairings
Enjoy as a sipper, or with charcuterie and chèvre; apple-glazed pork; grilled vegetables or bread pudding.
