CLACKAMAS, Ore — Just in time to ring in the new year, Portland Cider Co. has released Bubbly Brut, a brand-new modern champagne-style sparkling cider that’s perfect for celebrating a special occasion or a “cider-bration” any night of the week.

Bubby Brut is a small-batch cider made from 100% Northwest apples, fermented separately with two different champagne yeast strains on neutral French Oak, then blended. The result is a dry, tannic cider that’s rich in apple notes with depth, character, and plenty of fizz, offering 50 percent more carbonation than the cidery’s other products. Bubbly Brut comes in at 6.9% ABV with zero grams of sugar and is available in 19.2 oz. cans and on draft.

“We wanted to capture what people would expect from a champagne, but in a more approachable cider package,” said Deron Davenport, Portland Cider Co.’s head cidermaker. “Bubby Brut feels like a celebration with its sparkling effervescence, but it’s a cider at its core. That’s what’s really cool about this product—it’s an ode to a dry cider with a flavor profile that’s just as complex as any champagne you’ll find.”
