## Why go

Fermented cider turns up in the history of most places that keep fruit through a cold winter, and this is a small class at Fort Nisqually where you get to make some. You leave holding the result.

## What happens

Saturday, November 7, 1pm to 4pm at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum. The class covers the history and process of cider making, fermentation and varieties — cider, cyser, melomel, pymot, braggot, mead — with instruction, demonstration and hands-on work. You leave with a cider of your own.

## Good to know

$90 per person, registration required. You leave with cider you made. The Parks Tacoma events list shows 1–3pm for this date; the event page says 1–4pm. Confirm the time when you book.
