“Hey, how is this Cider different from other Ciders?”
🍇: Born from the hands of a winemaker, this cider is crafted with a unique blend of ingredients and techniques not often found in traditional ciders. By borrowing from winemaking methods, we’ve created a refined mouthfeel and layered complexity more similar to wine than your typical cider.
ALTER EGO CIDER is crafted from Hood River Fruit Loop apples, rooted in the heart of the
Columbia River Gorge. Each blend brings together crisp, juicy varieties such as, Ambrosia, Honeycrisp,
Pink Lady, Granny Smith, for both brightness and depth. It’s the duality we love: refreshing yet refined,
approachable yet complex. And no matter how you slice it, it’s good to the core.
