Made by one of our long-time brewing partners, Henry Hotspur’s Hard Cider (named for a real 14th century English nobleman, Henry Percy, who was also fictionalized by Shakespeare in Henry IV) is crafted with fresh-pressed apples from the Pacific Northwest that are fermented with brewer’s yeast. Following fermentation, a small amount of fresh (unfermented) apple juice is added, providing a distinct flavor profile. Thanks to the cold and controlled nature of the fermentation process, our brewer is able to produce the perfect amount of subtle sweetness, which elevates Hotspur’s above so many of the other hard ciders on the market. It pours light-golden from the bottle, begins with clean, crisp apple-forward flavors, and delivers a slightly sweet finish.
