Costco is expanding its cider offerings with a new Austin Eastciders cider variety pack. Of course, these aren't just any ciders. Each sider in the oversized pack boasts a tantalizing summer flavor.
Austin Eastciders is an Austin-based cider brand that focused on creating a lighter cider that everyone can enjoy. As the brand explains on its website, "We're helping move the mainstream toward cider that's lower in sugar and features more complex profiles." As a result, the new Austin Eastciders cider variety pack features unique, summer-ready flavors including Blood Orange, Watermelon, and Rosé. There's also an Original Dry Cider in the pack for those who appreciate the classics as well.
With a growing number of consumers looking for alternatives to beer and wine, these low-sugar ciders are the perfect option for summer.
