Angry Orchard Cider House collection launches nationwide

The cider makers at the Angry Orchard Cider Company have been hard at work on a new project – The Cider House Collection – and have just put the finishing touches on a new batch of specialty ciders that they're releasing nationally. Angry Orchard Iceman, inspired by traditional Quebec ice ciders, and Angry Orchard Strawman, a farmhouse cider, are the result of experimentation with apple varieties, wood-aging techniques and fermentation methods. Both styles will be hitting shelves across the country. Both bottle feature edgy, bold designs to captures the unique quality of the product.

"With Angry Orchard Iceman and Strawman, we put our own spin on ancient cider styles, using cider making techniques that we've developed over the past 15 years. To come up with these recipes, we've been tinkering with apple blends and fermentation methods," says David Sipes, cider maker for Angry Orchard. "Over the past year, there's been a renewed interest in hard cider in the U.S. and drinkers are exploring ciders like never before. With the Cider House Collection, our drinkers can experience our interpretation of these largely unknown cider styles."
