Woodchuck® Hard Cider Announces New Innovation Line, Tank Series and Starts with Pear Ginger

by | Feb 27, 2018

[Content from original press release.]

Woodchuck® Hard Cider is excited to announce that it will release a new line up of ciders starting in 2018 called Tank Series. Woodchuck has always been synonymous with innovation and our cider makers honor this pioneering spirit with the Tank Series. Each cider will be in the market for three to four months and then will be replaced by the next round of Tank Series innovation.

The first Tank Series variety will be Pear Ginger. Pear Ginger is a cider that was released briefly in select markets in 2017 and won Gold at the World Cider Championships. Pear Ginger infuses both pear and ginger for a cider that is light and refreshing. Pear Ginger, is the first of three new Tank Series available in 2018, the package will feature a specific 12oz can design for the Tank Series line up.

“We took time in 2017 to talk to our fans and hear what they wanted to see from Woodchuck,” said Bridget Blacklock, Director of Marketing. “Across the board they said more innovation again. We also kept hearing that being outdoors is a big part of their lifestyle so we knew it had to be a can package.”

Available nationally beginning in March, Pear Ginger (5% ABV) will retail for $8.99 / 12oz 6 pack can. It will also be available in 15.5 gallon kegs. Enjoy new innovation from the brand that started the American cider revolution.
