Cider Maker’s Description

The Bruin is bold. Earthy Willamette Hops pair seamlessly with the robust flavors of molasses, creating a fusion and aroma unique to American cider.

Dry-hopped for maximum bite, this dark and dry cider has much in common with its hopped cousin; it's no small wonder people call it "the beer drinker's cider."

Matthew Ostrander

Matthew favors dry hard ciders with body and leans towards traditional English styles, and he’s also developed a serious appreciation for hopped ciders and creative flavor infused ciders. Though he prefers sweets in solid forms, he does enjoy semi-sweet to sweet ciders responsibly when the mood strikes. Learn more about our Chief Cider Curator here.
