“We’re thrilled about this release and enjoy our ongoing partnership with our PNW neighbors at 2 Towns Ciderhouse,” expressed Kathryn Grandy, CMO for Proprietary Variety Management, the marketing force behind the Cosmic Crisp® brand apple. “Our Washington Cosmic Crisp® apples take on a flavorful twist with the addition of apricots in this mouthwatering seasonal release.” 

This brand family builds on the success of Seattle Cider Co’s groundbreaking Light Cider, a pioneering craft light cider that carved a new sector in the growing cider landscape in 2022. Stepping into the spotlight, VIVID Light Cider will soon offer innovative, crisp flavors for cider enthusiasts including Tart Apple, Juicy Pear, Bright Cherry, and Fresh Peach.

These premium barrel aged meads reflect our commitment to age-old craftsmanship with a modern twist. With ingredients sourced from the Pacific Northwest, Super Mure and Super Cyser, deliver a rich and nuanced flavor experience that is truly exceptional.

Moku Cacao husks and roasted Tanzanian cacao nibs provide rich chocolate aromatics. Marion blackberries deliver a sweet bite of acidity and deep blackberry flavors. The imperial cider finishes with silky oak tannins and a soft vanilla finish.

"With Blueberry POM having been one of our most beloved recipes over the years, we knew it was the perfect option to move into our Imperial Line Up." said Avid Cider's CEO and Co-Founder, Samantha Roberts. "The consumer demand for Imperial Ciders continues to rise and we are answering the call with more delicious, elevated ABV options being added into our portfolio." she continued. Avid’s new imperial product announcement comes at a time of growth and expansion for the company as they move toward transitioning into their new 15,000 sq ft production facility in Redmond, Oregon.

“As much as we all love a good beer at Zupan’s, there’s no better way to welcome the cooler fall weather than with a crisp cider,” said Zupan’s Markets President and CEO Mike Zupan. “This super dry and floral cider is so versatile, it’s a food-lover's dream.”

“Piña Fuego is the perfect pairing for your tropical BBQ,” said Dave Takush, head cider maker. “It strikes a beautiful balance of sweet and smoky flavors with the ripe pineapple and chipotle peppers – makes you want to grab a horse and ride bareback into the desert sunset.”

As a company committed to giving back, Seattle Cider Co is proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds from Light Cider will be donated Pride Foundation (WA, OR, AK, ID, MT) and Center on Halsted (IL). Through this contribution, we aim to make a positive impact and support the tireless work of our community partners.

“Every time you pop open a can of Portland Cider, you could be helping provide healthy, nutritious food to all the different animals at the Oregon Zoo,” said Helen Lewis, Marketing Director at Portland Cider. “The more six-packs sold, the greater the donation, so this is a great time to stock up a bit for the animals!”

The partnership between Seattle Cider and City Fruit began in 2014 when 32 percent of Seattle’s urban fruit crop was composted after harvest. In 2015, thanks to the partnership with Seattle Cider Company, that number was reduced to just eight percent. During harvest, as fruit was collected and sorted, apples unable to be used by food banks were dropped off at Seattle Cider Company and pressed. The result is a delightfully tart and tannic cider offering 7 percent ABV and made from more than 40 apple varieties.

“Hip Hops is the musical mashup of two unique ingredients,” said Dave Takush, head cider maker. “Talus hops was hand selected by our R&D team as the most expressive aromatic and delicious hop they could get their hands on. And rose hips  add a delicate combination of stone fruit and rose aromas with a touch of acidity.”

TeaREX Killer Tea  is the latest innovation under the 2 Towns total beverage umbrella and, along with its flagship 2 Towns Ciderhouse, will join Craftwell Cocktails, SeekOut Seltzer, and Nectar Creek Meadery. TeaREX comes out of the gate with two dino-mite varieties: Original Black Tea and Honey and Lemon Black Tea and Honey which are available in stores across Oregon, Washington, and Colorado  immediately.

A portion of the proceeds from The Baddie will be donated to the Pink Boots Society, a national non-profit organization supporting women in the fermentation industry. Launch events are planned throughout WA, OR, CA, and ID where a portion of draft sales will additionally benefit local Pink Books Society chapters in those communities. Beverage distributors including Classic, Columbia Distributing, Delta, Musetter, and Scout have also added their support by providing additional donations from The Baddie keg sales.
