In this day and age it’s quite mainstream for beer to come in cans (it’s not the novelty it once was), but when #DoubleMountainBrewery recently revealed that it’s (finally) canning its #beer and #cider, it warrants a closer look. The brewery famously resisted canning for a long time, focusing on its refillable bottle program in its sustainability efforts, and finally took the plunge this year.

At the beginning of the year, #PortlandCiderCompany added Pear Lychee to its year-round lineup, a cocktail-inspired cider created with pear and lychee that had previously been released as a small-batch specialty #cider. The company sent me samples to review; it’s packaged in both 12-ounce and 19.2-ounce cans.

#2TownsCiderhouse rounded out its seasonal #cider series for 2025 with Sled Zeppelin, a winter (Christmas) limited cider made with cranberries and cinnamon. It’s definitely a festive cider, with 6.9% ABV, and don’t think you should only enjoy this for the holidays (despite the Heavy Metal Santa on the label) — it’s one to drink through the winter as availability allows.

#PortlandCiderCompany’s fall releases make for some good holiday drinking, particularly its newest imperial seasonal, Blood Orange Pomegranate. The company highlighted four ciders for the fall, and sent me samples to review. All four would make good additions to your holiday drinks menu, so let’s straight into reviews.

Two new #cider reviews, featuring fruited flavors from #SchillingHardCider which the company had sent me to sample: Strawbeary Rhube Awakening (a name that leans heavily on the graphic design of the label) and Grapefruit and Chill. I found both to hit the target on the flavors each brings to the party.

Time for some #cider reviews, featuring a selection of fruited ciders from #PortlandCiderCompany! I’d received these ciders previously and rather than just reviewing them myself, I shared them with family for their feedback in a bit of crowdsourcing.
