Cider Maker’s Description

Ready for a rematch? Cider, meet Nelson. Topspin is bone dry and brings the thunder with fresh Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand. The nelson lets you know it's there to play without hitting you over the head. We built this cider with our friends at Modern Times Beer to be the perfect pair for casual recreation.

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.
