Schilling Cider
In 1881, Colin Schilling’s Great-Great-Grandfather, August, founded the Schilling Spice Company in San Francisco. His goal was to bring pure, natural spices to everyone at a fair price. Today, we carry August’s core values forward and pair them with innovative cider-making techniques. All our ciders are handcrafted in the Pacific Northwest. We use only 100% fresh-pressed apples, locally sourced ingredients, and individually hand-selected yeast strains to create a cider experience that is truly unique.
