It was winter 2012 when Ciderboys released their first batch of super crisp, hard cider. First Press, their signature product, went on to win several awards, even gold-medaling at the Denver International Beer Competition. They release additional, delicious flavors on a seasonal basis, capitalizing on fresh fruit at its peak. Grand Mimosa, an orange and apple-flavored hard cider, is available in winter when citrus is best. Raspberry Smash emerges in spring and Peach Country is available from spring through late summer.

The Ciderboys story is as humble as an apple. Based in Wisconsin, founders Gabe Hopkins and Bryan Wygert were self-proclaimed nerds with little to no start-up cash when they decided to pursue a new idea: blending different fruits with traditional hard cider. Since then, Ciderboys has made a name for itself in the ever-growing American hard cider market.

Each 12-ounce bottle contains roughly 200 calories and has 5% ABV. There are zero artificial ingredients — you’re tasting 100% apples from Washington state. Add real cane sugar and other fresh fruits and you’ve got a super appealing product marketed for a generation that craves adult beverages with real ingredients and juicy flavor. You’ll even see actual pulp from the fresh-squeezed orange juice in the Grand Mimosa bottle.
