A Note on This Beer

Besides the fact that Smokey the Pear is a contender for best cider name of the year, there is a lot of excitement around it! 

First off, Pivot is the newest brewing star featured on Tavour. They’re changing the cider game with flavors reminiscent of speakeasy cocktails and mood-making brews like Smokey the Pear. 

One sip transports the taste buds to a walk on a cool autumn evening, crunching over fallen leaves and taking in aromas of winter spice in the air!

Smokey delivers notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and a hint of cherry for a cozy feeling of late night chats with friends, bundled up and huddled together under the stars, or inside wrapped up in a blanket, binge-watching old movies. 

It's easy to taste the creativity that Pivot’s diverse team of scientists, chefs, climbers, runners, and artists brought to life.  

We bet you’ll have the same reaction we had after tasting Smokey: you’ll want to tell all your friends that they need to try it, too! 

*As part of the brewery’s mission to combat climate change, you’ll find a QR code on Smokey the Pear that links to resources involving the west coast wildfires. 

Pivot was featured in USA Today’s ‘50 States, 50 Cider Destinations’

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Disappointing. Like a flat pear juice. The hint of smoke is really interesting; this could’ve been a great cider.

So many flavors, yet balanced so perfectly. Starts tart and pear filled, then clean finished, with a hint of sweet nectar.

Loved the underlying smoke. Overall solid drink, but I can only have one of these before needing to move on. This style may be one I serve to other when we escape the pandemic. I hope the smoke is natural. Very sweet, in a good way, encourages sip & savor more than the classic crisp ciders do.

Very good cider. Extremely easy to drink, with a clean finish. Flavors are quite distinct. If you enjoy trying something different from the run of the mill, you shouldn't be disappointed by this one.

Not bad to drink, but also not necessarily enjoyable. Best to drink out of a glass you can’t smell it out of, unless you like the smell of a cherry-flavored vicks vapo-rub. Had higher hopes for this cider but fell short.

This Cider is absolutely wonderful — I bought this cider, knowing I don’t care for cinnamon, and was pleasantly surprised at how delightful the entire flavor profile was.
