Portland Cider Company today announced the return of its popular Crangerine Cider, a blend of traditional winter fruits that add a touch of sparkle to any holiday meal. Delightfully tart, juicy tangerine blends nicely with plump Oregon-grown cranberries in this ruby-colored hard cranberry cider, with brilliantly bright flavors that aren’t too sweet.
Crangerine originally launched as the first release of Portland Cider Co.’s Small Batch Series in late 2019. The series launched to showcase the company’s innovation, giving their cider makers an opportunity to experiment with flavors and styles that complement the core lineup. Based on its popularity, the company has expanded Crangerine cider’s availability to a returning winter seasonal, available in 6-pack, 12-oz. cans for the first time this year.
“Crangerine is a production team favorite, so we’re glad to bring it back on a larger scale this holiday season,” said Deron Davenport, head cider maker at Portland Cider Co. “It’s a great alternative to wine with the Thanksgiving meal, festive and perfectly pairs with rich holiday foods. The cranberry flavor is really pure, and the tangerines add this amazing complexity that sparkles on your tongue.”
Portland Cider Co.’s Crangerine is available through December in 19.2-oz. cans, 6-pack 12-oz. cans, and limited draft kegs. It can be purchased at either of the company’s two taprooms and will be on the shelves at select retailers in Oregon, Washington, Northern Idaho, and Northern California.
