I’ve received a number of press releases of late detailing how the industry is taking action to support the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether it’s a specialized delivery service, collaboration benefit beers, raising money for causes, making hand sanitizer—these are stories worth sharing and reading during this time. I don’t usually run every press release that comes my way but I will be running these.

2 Towns Ciderhouse in Corvallis has spearheaded a (mostly) local delivery service that not only includes its own cider and hard seltzer products, but has partnered with a number of other Willamette Valley businesses (or craft suppliers, as the email read) as part of that service. Not only does it help out other businesses struggling during this time but also helps to bring “a taste of normalcy” to people staying at home and safe.

Here’s the full release:

Craft is a way of life in Oregon. Whether alcohol, food, or hand made goods, our communities are built on the pride of their local craft businesses. This is why 2 Towns Ciderhouse is excited to use its recently launched door-to-door delivery service to connect Oregonians with their favorite craft brands while staying home and staying safe.

2 Towns and SeekOut Seltzer are proud to partner with Block 15 Beer, Treos Wine, Stoller Wine Group, Holderness Coffee (for your daytime drinking habits) and now local Corvallis pub, Brass Monkey, for take-and-make meal kits, to bring a taste of that local craft community we’ve all been missing during the lockdown.

“Our mission is to ‘bring cider back to the people’,” said CEO and Founder, Lee Larsen. “I don’t think we can do that more literally than safely delivering cider straight to our customers’ doorsteps. What started as a way to support local craft suppliers during the pandemic has turned into a community experience that has allowed our customers to feel some normalcy and familiarity during a very uncertain time.”

Since launching on March 20th, the door-to-door delivery service has had over 1000 orders and has expanded its’ territory to deliver to Corvallis, Portland, Salem, Eugene, Lebanon & surrounding areas. All deliveries are made by our amazing Tap Room Associates, fully decked in PPE so that they can provide a safe and contactless delivery experience. 2townsciderhouse.com/local-delivery
