The hard cider comes in with a 6.9% ABV and is made with apples sourced from the Pacific Northwest alongside cranberries from Oregon and a dash of cinnamon for a well-rounded seasonal flavor profile. The cider is launching in four-packs as well as in half barrels and one-sixth barrels to accommodate businesses looking to serve it on draft.

Head Cidermaker Dave Takush commented on the 2 Towns Ciderhouse Sled Zeppelin hard cider saying, "Great cider starts with great fruit, and we’ve always believed in staying connected to the rhythm of the seasons. This winter, we’re showcasing Oregon cranberries for their vivid red fruit character, rounded out with a touch of cinnamon that adds warmth and depth. It’s bold, bright, and bursting with festive flavor; a cider that really rocks.”
