Based: Bend, Oregon
Last Fall, Avid Cider Co. stepped up in a big way with their Northwest Is Our Core campaign! This two-month-long campaign raised awareness and funds for protecting forests, wildlife, and watersheds across the Pacific Northwest. From donating a portion of sales, to giving away National Parks passes, creating some very cool merch, and getting our hands dirty on a brisk Friday in Bend to restore a section of riparian area along the Wild & Scenic Deschutes River, Avid’s team went above and beyond last year to help protect Oregon’s wild places.
Avid was founded in 2013 and joined the Oregon Brewshed® Alliance in 2024, becoming one of our newest Brewshed partners! We look forward to continuing our work with Avid in the years to come to protect and restore the forests and waters that make our state such an incredible place to live, work, and enjoy great beer (and cider)!

We all know water is vital to brewing, but what about hops?! We’re proud to have more than one hop-growing partner, making sure this ingredient is sustainable.
Yakima Chief Hops is a 100% grower-owned network of family hop farms. Since 1869, they’ve been known for quality hops with an ever-growing vision towards sustainability. Situated in “Hop Country, USA,” or the Yakima Valley as you may know it, YCH is uniquely positioned to establish strong relationships between the growers who supply their super-premium hops and their innovative brewing customers who make the most of their products in their beer. YCH’s mission is to connect family hop farms with the world’s finest brewers, providing the highest quality hop products and uncompromising service for the ultimate benefit of customers, employees, and growers. YCH understands that access to clean water is undoubtedly important to produce healthy hops and refreshing beer, which is why they are a strong supporter of Oregon Wild’s work. There is an intrinsic relationship between healthy waterways and healthy hops; therefore, YCH’s growers strive to conserve the use of this natural resource for their growing requirements.
Yakima Chief Hops and grower/supplier Coleman Agriculture donated hops to this year’s Earth Day Collaboration brews.
