BIG NEWS from @finnriver today! Finnriver Unveils Canned Craft Cider Made with 100% Organic Fruit. The Pacific Northwest's first B Corp certified cidery, announces the launch of two premium craft ciders in convenient can format. The new offerings, debuting in April 2025, extend Finnriver's commitment to making craft cider from 100% organic fruit as accessible as possible. The initial release features two of Finnriver's most popular varieties:  Bloom (6.5% ABV) - Semi-dry, fruity and bright. Crisp, organic Washington apples meet sweet, organic blueberries, which give this sparkling cider a lovely purple hue.  Blush (6.5% ABV), Dry, crisp and light. Tart, organic Washington apples meet organic black currants in this beautiful, pink sparkling cider. “Washington State grows more than 85% of organic apples in the U.S., yet that’s rarely reflected in canned ciders. We saw a lack of premium craft ciders in cans in the market, and knew we could fill that niche,” says Amanda Oborne, Finnriver’s CEO. “With an organic orchard and a cidermaking team that sources all organic, local and wildcrafted ingredients, sustainability is paramount to us,” continues Oborne. “By putting our values-driven products in cans, we make them accessible to a much broader community of responsible, discerning drinkers.” Finnriver is a certified B Corp cidery known for innovating farmcrafted blends using all organic juice, berries and wild foraged botanicals.  Both varieties will debut in late March with full market rollout beginning April 2025.  More details on distribution can be found in the link in bio. 🌷 Photography by @jenleelight #pickcider #drinkcider #cidercraft #cidernews #finnriver #nwcider

🌴🍍 Introducing Island Daiquiri from @portlandcider! 🍊🥥 Close your eyes, take a sip, and you might just hear the waves crashing. This tropical escape starts with the unmistakable juiciness of pineapple, smoothly blended with velvety coconut. A bright twist of citrus from orange gives it that refreshing zing, and just when you think it’s over, a gentle touch of nutmeg leaves you with a warm, spiced finish. What pairs best with this tropical delight? Spicy tacos 🌮, grilled seafood 🐟, Caribbean flavors, and BBQ straight off the grill. Honestly, though, it pairs perfectly with sunshine and good vibes. Available now in 12oz 6-packs, 19.2oz single cans, and on draft. 👉 Check out @portlandcider for more details. #PortlandCider #IslandDaiquiri #CiderRelease

Martinelli's Returns to its Roots With the Relaunch of @1868hardcider ! Martinelli’s, makers of premium quality apple juice for more than 155 years, returns to its roots with the re-introduction of 1868 Hard Cider. “Today, the name Martinelli’s is known around the world for its award-winning apple juice and sparkling cider products,” noted Gun Ruder, President and CEO, S. Martinelli & Company. “But, few may know that the first sips of Martinelli’s taken in 1868 were actually a hard (alcoholic) version of the famous Gold Medal juices we know today,” Ruder added. In the late 1910’s, The Martinelli family, anticipating a need to pivot during changing political times that resulted in the outlawing of the sale of alcoholic beverages, developed a pasteurized, non-alcoholic version of the family’s cider. When the National Prohibition Act went into effect in early 1920, the Martinelli family had already replaced its hard cider with non-alcoholic sparkling and still apple juice. The hard cider made its return in 1933, when the 21st Amendment made the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages legal again, putting an end to Prohibition. Over the years, Martinelli’s hard cider returned to shelves for a limited time, most recently in 2018, to celebrate the company’s 150th Anniversary. This time, it’s here to stay. 1868 Hard Cider is made from 100% U.S-grown, fresh-pressed apples in a classic blend of Newtown Pippin and West Coast varieties that give Martinelli’s 1868 its signature, just-picked, apple flavor. Martinelli’s 1868 will be available at select Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, New Leaf, Raley’s, Nugget, Total Wine and Bev Mo! stores in northern California starting on October 21 and then rolls out nationally in early 2025. The 1868 collection includes three 12-ounce flavors, Original, Imperial, and Mango, with more flavors being added to the portfolio in the coming months. #pickcider #martinellis #hardcider #drinkcider
