Owner Bob Fox and cider maker Justin Cardwell worked with Mobile Bottling Solutions from Bend last week to bottle and box up cases of 22-ounce bottles, set to retail at about $6. Look for Sir Isaac at local stores and bottle shops. Fox Tail began its cidery and café operation two years ago on Highway 35 at Ehrck Hill Road. Fox and Cardwell decided to go with Sir Isaac (6.2 ABV) for their first bot- tling, given its balance of sweet and tart, appealing to a variety of palates. Sir Isaac debuted about two months ago. “When we first brought it out we had score cards, and this one was get- ting fives out of five. We said, ‘this is the one we bottle’,” Fox said. The name was one Fox and friends came up with, over cider, but it has no particular historical or agricultural meaning. “We just thought the words went together well and had a good sound,” Fox said.

Fox has juggled a changing tap list of ciders employing apples, pears, raspberries, peaches, apricots and other fruits; the current list in- cludes “Strawberry Rheum” with rhubarb, and blackber- ry-infused Briarberry. ■ Cider Central will alter- nate, like a rotating tap, with The Ale List as Hood River News chronicles the expand- ing array of locally-made liba- tions and locations. Fox Tail and the two taphouses listed below, bring to eight the num- ber of cideries and taphouses in Hood River County and Mosier that are solely or large- ly dedicated to the creation and sampling of cider. www.facebook.com/meetgoodwill @Goodwill_Power CIDER HOUSES SET TO OPEN Two new cideries are due to open this summer and fall in Hood River.They are Crush Cidery on Wasco Street and ‘12 Ciders’ on the Heights. First to open will be Crush, owned by Sam Bailey and cider maker Guntram Jordan, a native of Germany, in mid-July at 1020 Wasco, next to New York City Sub Shop. “We will start out with as many local ciders from the Hood River area as we can get for the taproom,” Bailey said. “We will be working on the cider produc- tion contiguously to the opening. It will take a bit longer for the production area. We will be in production for this harvest sea- son.” In the works on the Heights, poised as “The 12 Ciders Tap- room,” is a collaborative by cider makers John Metta, Jeff Nicol, Chip Dickenson and Ste- fan Gumperlein, located on 12th Street next to Pine Street Bakery. They plan to open their doors in the fall, and make and serve cider. (Gumperlein has Ovino deli, and will continue that business.) “Expect “lots of small barrels and special one offs,” Metta said. “Our volume is low, everything will be different and a little bit special,” Metta said.
