Clear Creek Distillery is the original American craft brandy house. Steve McCarthy, whose family had grown fruit in Oregon since the early 1900s, tasted Alsatian pear eau de vie in Europe and started distilling in Portland in 1985 to make the same thing from Oregon fruit. The pear brandy, made from Bartlett pears as the stand-in for Europe's Williams pears, became the flagship and is still the U.S. benchmark. Hood River Distillers bought the company in 2014 and moved production to Hood River orchard country. Clear Creek also makes an eau de vie from spring Douglas fir buds, aged apple brandy from Golden Delicious apples, plum and cherry brandies, and fruit liqueurs built on its own eau de vie. At Chips Liquor we carry Clear Creek Pear Brandy, Clear Creek Douglas Fir Eau Vie, Clear Creek 2 Year Apple Brandy, Clear Creek Apple Brandy 8 Year Old, Clear Creek Blue Plum Brandy, Clear Creek Cherry Brandy, Clear Creek Marionberry Liqueur, and Clear Creek Cassis Liqueur.
