# Pear-Flavored Ciders This Naturally Sweet Cider is Made with Real Pears By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-03-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-pears References: [preparedfoods](http://www.preparedfoods.com/articles/117696-flatbed-cider-co-premium-craft-ciders) & [flatbedcider](http://www.flatbedcider.com/) The Pear Cider from Flatbed Cider Co. is a naturally sweet alcoholic drink made with real pears. In recent years, [apple-flavored craft ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kopparberg-crisp-apple) have become a popular choice among consumers. This pear-flavored cider provides an alternative for those who are looking for a slightly different taste. Flatbed Pear Cider is a craft cider made from real pears grown in the Northwest US. The addition of pears makes the drink slightly sweeter than apple-based ciders, but still refreshing enough for a [hot summer day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crisp-apple-cider). As Flatbed Cider Co. explains, the unique flavor is particularly appropriate for "taming spicy foods and classing up a donut." The pear-flavored cider is ideal for consumers who enjoy craft beers that offer a slightly different take on a traditional apple-based cider. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fruit-flavored Alcoholic Beverages:** There is an opportunity for companies to innovate and offer a variety of fruit-flavored alcoholic beverages, beyond the traditional apple-based ciders and fruit-infused beers. - **Natural and Organic Alcoholic Beverages:** There is a trend towards consumers seeking out natural and organic alcoholic beverages made with real fruit, creating an opportunity for companies to cater to this demand. - **Craft Cider Made with Different Fruits:** A trend of experimenting with different fruit flavors in craft cider is emerging, and companies can take advantage of this opportunity to create unique and innovative products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcoholic Beverages:** The alcohol industry can capitalize on the trend of fruit-flavored beverages and natural, organic ingredients to create new products and expand their offerings. - **Craft Cider:** Craft cider makers can explore using different fruits to create unique flavors and stand out among competitors in the market. - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and other food and beverage establishments can offer pear-flavored cider as a unique, refreshing option that pairs well with spicy dishes and sweet treats like donuts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisan Quality Pear Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henry-westons-vintage-pear.md) - [Low-Alcohol Summertime Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornish-orchards-peach-apple.md) - [Effervescent Light Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/effervescent-light-ciders.md) - [Orchard Fruit Cocktail Mixers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orchard-apple-pear.md) - [Floral Hard Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-hard-cider.md) - [Rose-Hued Apple Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholfree-ciders.md) - [Invigorating Light Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-ciders.md) - [Cloudy Passion Fruit Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passion-fruit-cider.md) - [Party-Friendly Alcohol-Free Ciders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcoholfree-cider.md)
