A new Cosmic Crisp cider from 2 Towns Ciderhouse has dropped, this time with raspberries as the fruited addition. It joins the Cosmic Explorer series as the fourth in the line, following original, Blueberry, and Tropical.

Full press release:

Expanding its interstellar imperial series into new galaxies, 2 Towns Ciderhouse launches Raspberry Cosmic Crisp®, the fourth imperial cider in its astronomically successful, high ABV, Cosmic Explorer Series line.

Hitting earthling stores this month, Raspberry Cosmic Crisp® joins Blueberry Cosmic Crisp® and Tropical Cosmic Crisp® (launched in February this year) along with the original Cosmic Crisp® (launched in 2021) to further expand upon the Cosmic Explorer Series–the high ABV, imperial flagship line from 2 Towns.

All four high gravity ciders are crafted with Cosmic Crisp® apples and designed to transport you straight across the galaxy. Raspberry Cosmic Crisp® is crafted with Northwest raspberries, Oregon cranberries, and Cosmic Crisp® apples, and will have you chasing flow and grabbing air across the galactic superwave.

“WHEN YOU PAIR THE BRIGHT, HIGH-ACID PROFILE OF THE COSMIC CRISP® APPLE WITH TART, JUICY PACIFIC NORTHWEST RASPBERRIES, THE RESULT IS ASTRONOMICAL!” SAYS DAVE TAKUSH, HEAD CIDER-MAKER. “THIS NEW RASPBERRY RENDITION MAKES A STELLAR ADDITION TO THE COSMIC EXPLORER SERIES LINE–ALL ARE VERY AUTHENTIC, VERY APPROACHABLE, AND REMAIN…OUT OF THIS WORLD.”

The Cosmic Crisp® apple is the work of 20 years of study and research by Washington State University, resulting in a classically bred hybrid of Honeycrisp and Enterprise varieties. The resulting fruit is a large, round, crisp, and super juicy apple that is perfect for snacking, baking, and clearly, cider making. Grown in Washington State, this brand of apples have a beautiful rich red that almost sparkles with starburst-like lenticels—which is where the name “Cosmic” comes from.

“We are thrilled to partner with 2 Towns Ciderhouse and explore another incredible flavor frontier within the Cosmic Explorer Series,” said Kathryn Grandy, Chief Marketing Officer for Proprietary Variety Management, who markets the Cosmic Crisp® brand apple. “Pacific Northwest raspberries are a natural complement to Washington grown Cosmic Crisp® apples, and this incredible family of ciders. Our brands and partnership have so many synergies and it’s been a blast to work together on products as well as promotions.”
