Corvallis, Oregon’s 2 Towns Ciderhouse will launch the first large scale produced cider made with Cosmic Crisp apples as their first new year-round cider of 2021. The aptly named Cosmic Crisp Cider is an 8% ABV Imperial Cider that was previously released in small batches on draft-only, starting in January it will be available in cans and 6-packs 24/7.

Crafted from a bright blend of fresh-pressed juice from its namesake, Cosmic Crisp®, and other Northwest apples, this cider shines like the sun. Fruit-forward apple aromatics collide with the weight of it’s high alcohol and dense acidity in flavors that are earning raves from the solar system.

More from a press release:

“When fermented, the aromatics that are released from the Cosmic Crisp® apples are truly unique,” said Dave Takush, Head Cidermaker, “Strong notes of white currant and pineapple blossom off of a platinum colored cider that is as crisp and sparkling as you could imagine. People can make all the interstellar puns they want, but this is truly a unique and beautiful cider” 

While this is the first cider to be produced on a large scale using Cosmic Crisp® apples, 2 Towns is also proud to have been the first cidery to produce a cider crafted from this exceptional new apple. Their small-batch, draft-only version was released in January, and they were ecstatic to learn that it won Platinum in SIP Magazine’s Best of the Northwest awards. One of the west coasts’ most prestigious craft alcohol awards, it just went to show the quality product that would come from this exciting new apple varietal.
