    ABOUT SWIFT CIDER
    Swift Cider is an urban small-batch, craft hard cider company from Portland, Oregon. We are named after the tens of thousands of Vaux’s swifts that roost in old brick chimney throughout Portland during harvest season. Swift makes dry and semi-dry craft cider with fresh-pressed apples, wholesome local fruits, hops, and spices. We don’t add sugar, concentrates or artificial flavor. Aidan Currie is the head-cider maker, founder, and obsessive zymurgist. After starting in a Portland garage back in 2011, the company has grown into a large production space in NE Portland. The current lineup is expanding and includes a semi-dry, a marionberry, a pineapple dry-hop and rotating seasonal ciders. We also produce Estate-grown heirloom cider with apples grown on Sauvie’s island and we’re regularly developing new ciders. Our distribution territory is growing outside of Oregon which means it's time to grow our production team.
