Nationally available just in time for summer, Angry Orchard Easy Apple is an easy-drinking hard cider that’s unfiltered, leaving it with a slightly hazy appearance and a refreshingly dry finish. Its bright flavor and less-sweet taste pair particularly well with anything fresh off the grill, such as hamburgers, hot dogs and grilled chicken. Pick up a 6-pack or 16-ounce cans for your next picnic and bring these pairings to life.
For another fruit-forward option, Angry Orchard Crisp Apple 12-oz. and 16-ounce cans are perfect for enjoying during outdoor occasions.
Crisp Apple balances the sweetness of culinary apples with the dryness of bittersweet apples for a complex yet exceptionally refreshing hard cider that complements smoky barbecue flavors.
Looking for a way to take your cocktails up a notch? For a big-batch cocktail with a refreshing twist, add the bright apple taste of Angry Orchard Summer Honey, the seasonal cider made with a touch of wildflower honey.
