Freedom’s Edge Cider has announced plans to close their Portland tasting room on Diamond Street. This Saturday will be their last day in operation. Their announcement reads in-part,
We have nothing but gratitude for your incredible support in Portland over the past year. We’re also very grateful to Kerri, Elena and the entire tasting room team. Everyone who came felt the care, thoughtfulness and warmth they put into every little thing they did.
Truthfully, our plan was for Andy & Ned, Freedom’s Edge’s owners, to spend a lot of their time in Portland working to create new ciders. And the reality is that that simply didn’t happen. Too much to do, to little time, a tale as old as time! And without all those bottled ciders, our Diamond St location was simply too big and costly to be sustainable.
The cider company will continue to operate their production facility and tasting room in Albion.
