Press Release

SEATTLE ... Seattle Cider Company and Atlantic Beverage Distributors are excited to announce a new partnership and the upcoming launch of Seattle Cider’s unique selection of dry craft ciders throughout Massachusetts. Becoming the fifteenth state to carry Seattle Cider Company since its launch in 2013, Boston and the rest of Massachusetts will enjoy the growing cidery’s year round and seasonal lineup, with official launch events taking place the week of September 10. Launch in Rhode Island through Atlantic is expected for later this year. 

“We’ve had our sights on the east coast for some time and are excited to have Boston as our first foray into the New England market,” said Joel VandenBrink, founder of Seattle Cider Company. “Atlantic’s dedication to craft and their knowledge of this exciting market made the partnership an easy choice.”

“Atlantic is excited to represent one of the top cideries in the US,” added Mino Soghomonian, General Sales Manager at Atlantic Beverage Distributors. “This partnership continues to strengthen our position as the leading independent craft beer distributor with scalability in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.”

Known for its handcrafted collection of dry, flavorful ciders – successfully bridging the gap between beer and wine – Seattle Cider Company offerings are made from 100 percent fresh-pressed Washington apples, gluten free and never from concentrate. Scheduled to be available in 16-ounce cans and on draft throughout Massachusetts, initial Seattle Cider Co. offerings will include:

Dry: Dry and pleasantly acidic, flavors of nectarine and under ripe peach hit the palate with no residual sweetness. One of the driest ciders on the market. 0 brix, 6.5% ABV, 16-ounce can, draft.

Semi-Sweet: A light, crisp cider with just a touch of sweetness, this cider is honey in color with notes of orange, lemon and apple. A refreshing cider, it reveals hints of apricot on the palate. 2.6 brix, 6.5% ABV, 16-ounce can, draft.

Pumpkin Spice: This semi-sweet cider is copper in color and perfect for fall. Fermented with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves, it offers hints of the season's favorite spices followed by just a touch of pumpkin. 2.6 brix, 6.9% ABV, 16-ounce can, draft.

Additional draft only products will be available, including Gin Botanical and a selection of Seattle Cider Company’s Harvest Series ciders.
