Our pear orchards in the foothills of the Wenatchee mountains have been farmed for over a hundred years. The soils and climate together produce the best pears in the world.
This Perry is our work to create something unique, familiar, yet fundamentally different.

PERRY
APPLES ARE TO CIDER AS PEARS ARE TO PERRY
The Pears used at Independent Cider come from Remley Orchards. These family orchards in Dryden and the surrounding area, have been farmed and harvested for five generations beginning in the early 1900’s.
Our modern Perry is made from 100% estate grown pear. After harvest, our pears are stored and ready for juicing. Controlled atmosphere storage allows us to to process whole pears, never substituting for other ingredients, even during the off-season.
Slowly fermented to dryness, we harnesses the delicate flavors of the Pear. Seeking to find the balance of a crisp chilled pear and the quintessential sweet juiciness of tree ripened fruit.
GINGER PERRY
Expect crisp hints of ginger out off the glass while the Anjou Pear lends a medium body and a clean canvas for subtle spice from fresh ground ginger root.
