Blake's Hard Cider has blossomed into one of the most respected cideries around since it was established in Michigan back in 2013, and with the status of largest craft cidery in the midwest U.S. long solidified, the company is looking to embrace the summer with the launch of a truly delectable cider collection that covers a variety of flavor bases.
Launched as part of the brewery's exciting 'Summer of Cider' campaign, this particular cider collection includes the 'Peach Party' craft cider, which combines hints of perfectly ripe and plump peaches with the unmistakable tartness of blackberries in a cider that comes in at 6.5 percent ABV. The cider collection also caters to lovers of tropical beverages thanks to the inclusion of the 'Tropicolada' variety, which reinterprets the classic pina colada.
