Not that there was any doubt, but co-owners Jeff and Lynda Parrish of Portland Cider Company issued a media statement today clarifying that Portland Cider is not actually closing:

There have been a number of craft brewery and cidery closures in the Portland area recently. While we feel for our industry friends, we want to go on record stating that Portland Cider Company is very much still in business, including our two taprooms in the Portland areas. Stories that have referenced the closure of “Portland Cider Companies”––meaning cider companies in the Portland area––have led to understandable confusion for our loyal fans, patrons and and accounts. Rest assured, six years after opening, Portland Cider Company is stronger than ever and grateful to be a part of Portland’s cider loving community. Thank you!

Which reminds me that I still have some Portland ciders in my fridge…
