Philippe Bishop

Philippe Bishop is a co-owner of Alpenfire Cider, a small, family-run cidery based in the seaport town of Port Townsend, WA. We began planting our orchard in 2003 exclusively for making cider and released our first blends from the 2006 harvest. He primarily handles the sales and education side of things in and out of our region, but with any small company we all wear many hats from blending to pruning and everything in-between. Previously his work included Sales and Operations at a high end craft beer, cider, & sake distributor, plus has sat on the board of the Northwest Cider Association. Currently Philippe lives in Seattle, WA with his wife and two kids and sits on the board of the American Cider Association.
