A Note on This Beer

In a recent interview, the Kentucky brewers at Pivot Cider laid out their mission: “good conversations come with good hard Cider.”

Today, they’ve given us a Cider really worth talking about!

When they initially crafted Thistle, they updated the community by posting a mouthwatering video with freshly sliced ginger, complementing delicious, fresh raspberries for the incoming release! Fans responded by showing that actions speak louder than words: the 6-packs sold out almost immediately at the taproom!

And you, lucky Tavour members, get a shot at some of this deliciously bold, crisp seasonal! With a bright, herbaceous front from the fresh ginger, and tart, almost floral notes on the aroma AND palate from luscious red berries, this refreshing Cider contains all the stuff needed for a sunny disposition and good conversation!

Now’s your chance to join the community and have your voice heard; get your hands on this delicious Kentucky-based Cider!

Light and refreshing, solid raspberry flavor with a nice ginger kick, but not overpowering.

First drink I like from this site. Super light. Almost has a hard seltzer taste but with light honey and floral notes.

Love a good gingery cider and this one is no exception. Super refreshing, not too sour and not too sweet. Perfect!

A little heavy on the ginger but overall, a smooth cider with more than ample flavor.

A little too much ginger. Takes over the rest of the flavors.

the herbs are prominent but unpleasant. would probably be good as a substitute for ginger beer in a cocktail.

Ginger adds greater depth of flavor, supporting the apple. Finishes with notes of raspberry and a hint of tartness.
