Every year The Daily Herald takes nominations and lets readers vote for the Best of Snohomish County Awards. There are dozens of categories, but here are the 2022 top choices for best cider:

First Place: Elemental Cider Co. in Arlington

Grocery stores around the county stock beer aisles with colorful cans by Elemental Cider Co., and also in stores in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Formerly in Woodinville, Elemental opened a taproom in Arlington in 2019.

The main entrance opens to seating, a bar and the pizza oven. Lawn games, such as corn hole, are around the corner. Nearby is a fenced-off area for canning, and brewing will happen in the back of the room.

Second Place: SoundBite Cider in Everett

Third Place: Brews Almighty in Everett

Additional Nominees:

Hammered Dwarf Cider in Snohomish

Ragged & Right Cider Project in Mount Vernon
