MARENGO — Fireside Winery has launched a new style for its popular FireCiders line, now available in slim cans just in time for summer.
Originally released last summer in bottles, FireCiders have quickly become a customer favorite, said Fireside in a press release.
Responding to popular demand for portability and convenience, Fireside has introduced these refreshing ciders in sleek, easy-to-carry cans that are perfect for outdoor activities, picnics, and casual sipping.
FireCiders come in four flavors: classic apple, dry hopped, blackberry and strawberry rhubarb.
“We’re excited to offer FireCiders in cans because our customers have been asking for a more portable option,” said Zach Bott, Winemaker for Fireside Winery.
“The slim cans are ideal for summer recreation and make enjoying our ciders even easier.”
Fireside is currently transitioning out of its bottles of ciders in its three tasting rooms. Bottles of cider are 500ml which is 4 ounces more than the new cans, which are 12 ounces, said Fireside.
In the future, bottles will be used for limited release ciders only, such as the soon to be released Raspberry Lemonade Cider, said Fireside.
To sample FireCiders, visit Fireside’s tasting rooms in Marengo or Amana.
