— May 14, 2025 — Lifestyle
Kopparberg Crisp Apple Cider has been announced by the brand as part of its kick-off of the season that's crafted with a decidedly fresher, lighter take on its traditional apple cider. The libation is reported to have a crisper, cleaner flavor profile that's perfect for sipping in the warm weather with the signature sweetness that Kopparberg cider is known for. The cider has a 4% ABV and is rolling out in bars and pubs in the UK alongside grocery store options including 500ml single bottles and four-packs of 500ml cans.

Brand Manager Nancy Dales commented on the Kopparberg Crisp Apple Cider saying, "As soon as the sun shines, the Kopparbergs come out. Music’s playing, plans are made, and those first sips mark the start of something good. Crisp Apple is our bold take on a classic – clean, refreshing apple flavour with just a touch of Kopparberg’s signature sweetness. Whether you’re at the pub, in the park, or spending a weekend with friends, it’s the perfect cider to enjoy the moment and welcome the brighter days.”
