Compared with other segments in the beer market, hard cider remains niche.

Ridge Cider LLC announced the addition of the Pure Michigan logo to its new hard cider packaging. This signifies that the company’s hard cider is made with at least 75 percent ingredients grown in Michigan, it says.

Angry Orchard introduced its newest flavored hard cider: Angry Orchard Rosé. 

Craft cider-makers have proven to be a bright spot for the segment, but have been unable to make up for the declines of national brands, experts note.

Crispin Cider Co., a MillerCoors brand, added Crispin Rosé to its year-round portfolio. 

This spring, Angry Orchard, a brand of Boston-based The Boston Beer Co., is giving legal-drinking-age consumers a new and choice: Angry Orchard Rosé hard cider. Made with a blend of apples including rare red-flesh apples from France, Angry Orchard Rosé delivers the crisp and refreshing qualities of hard cider with a rosy color and floral aroma, the company says.
