Oregon's Crown-Jewel Berry, Pressed into Cider
The Marionberry was bred for Marion County, Oregon, and became the standard against which other blackberries are compared. 2 Towns Ciderhouse — founded in Corvallis in 2010 by Lee Larsen and Aaron Sarnoff-Wood, the two-towns founders — unites those whole berries with fresh-pressed Northwest apples for a cider that pours a deep ruby and drinks like the berry patch in July.

How to Enjoy
Serve it cold from the can or over ice in a tall glass. The berry tang makes it a natural partner for sharp cheddar, grilled pork or a blackberry dessert.
