portland pear cider

[duckduck]

I use to love the pear cider that they used to have at Biddy McGraw's and I miss it since they quit carrying it. Anybody know of any place that serves pear cider in Portland? They make great snakebites!

I think they have it at Lucky Labrador in Multnomah village...I think.

What is a "snakebite"?

They also used to serve it at County Cork on NE Fremont.

A snakebite is like a black n tan only it's half cider and half guiness.

Thanks, guys!

Had a pint at County Cork tonight. It was Widmere which is a little dryer...drier...ok it was more dry than the stuff at Biddy's and the stuff at McMennamin's was a lot sweeter. Both were good. I'll check out Lucky Lab next. County Cork was cool. A lot like Biddy's. Friendly bar staff! I miss Pat and Shandeen (?spelling is not my strong point after a pint) and friday nights at Biddy's. It's still a great place but not the same without them. It's kind of the feeling of home to me, kicking back with a pint of pear cider and listening to Shandeen singing in the kitchen while fixing my supper on any given friday night. Great memories.... I remember walking in the friday after 9-11 like normal and having Pat and the bartender stop and stare like "Oh my God... a body came in the door!" I remember four of us going out front at 7:00 and lighting candles for the vigil. I'll still keep searching for more cider. I may just be chasing a memory but I am checking out some cool new places to hang. Thanks for the input guys!
