Beer 101 - 'The In-Cider'

America was founded on hard cider. In colonial days, it was the most popular alcoholic beverage. The reason for its popularity is that it is much easier to produce than beer or wine and uses affordable ingredients! Alas, the popularity of cider dwindled due to prohibition and the emerging soda companies of the 1920’s. Cider has fallen a long way from what it used to be. Now, ciders are loaded with sugars, sulfites, apple juice concentrate, and artificial colors. Luckily, ciders with a more traditional look and flavor are making a comeback. A few chunks of cheese and a nice crusty baguette is all you need to enjoy a these tasty ciders!

Isastegi Basque Cider
…A truly unique cider! From the basque region of Spain. This cider has a very earthy and fresh apple flavor and pairs beautifully with P’tit Basque cheese.

Crispin Original
…A classically styled, but untraditional hard apple cider. Fruit forward, with a fresh, crunchy-“appley” nose and a deliciously creamy, refreshingly crisp mouth feel.

Crispin BrutR
… The epitome of sophistication in ciders. Wonderfully, light and crisp with a fresh apple bouquet.

Crispin “Honey Crisp”
… A truly “artisanal” cider. Unfiltered and cloudy in appearance, this super-premium cider is lightly sweetened with organic honey for a rich, creamy, and full-bodied, taste.

Crispin “The Saint”
…Brewed with the addition of Belgian Trappist yeast, this hand-crafted cider is smoothed out with the addition of organic maple syrup for a silky and complex mouthfeel.
