2 Towns Ciderhouse’s Two Thorns returns for another year with the return of soccer, a fan favorite cider made with raspberries and rose petals in honor of the Portland Thorns FC soccer team. The cidery sent me a six-pack to review last week, which seems like a natural fit to do an overall “Thorns brews” review along with the Slide Tackle Hazy IPA from Pelican Brewing.

Here’s the full press release for Two Thorns:

2 Towns Ciderhouse invites their supporters to celebrate the true arrival of spring, and the kickoff of the Portland Thorns FC’s 2021 season, with the return of everyone’s favorite spring seasonal cider; Two Thorns!

An award-winning blend of Northwest apples, Oregon-grown raspberries, and whole rose petals, Two Thorns is a breathtaking tribute to spring and the cidery’s excitement for this new season. Lofting floral aromatics meld beautifully with the sharp, berry tartness of the raspberries, with a base of fresh-pressed apples tying it all together delightfully.

Inspired by the fierce and awe-inspiring players of the Portland Thorns FC, this fan-favorite is the perfect drink to have while cheering on the team, or sipping on while basking in the warm spring sunshine.
