“I know we’ve got some dedicated Black Phillip fans who are going to be very excited about his return in our new throwback pack,” said Andrew Blake, president and founder of Blake’s Hard Cider. “Like any good horror movie villain, we keep trying to lock Black Philip away, and he keeps finding a way to come back.”

Blake’s newest release is American Berry, an 8% ABV apple and blueberry cider that Hard Cidery describes as sweet, tart and dry.

“American Berry is a celebration of iconic American farm-fresh flavors, delivered with an unmistakable imperial-style kick,” says Blake. “We heard how much our customers enjoy our American Apple, which was our first 8% ABV hard cider, so we created American Berry as another option for a bold hard cider that’s still an easy sipper.”

Both the Throwback Pack and American Berry are available now. Also, keep an eye out for their seasonal return of fruit ciders soon – Caramel Apple, Apple Lantern and Mule de Pomme.
