Crispin Cider has re-launched after spending two years in limbo, after a licensing agreement between parent company Molson Coors and the newly created Minneapolis Cider Company was finalized.
Crispin was originally founded in 2004, then acquired by Molson Coors [then Miller Coors] in 2012, but shuttered in 2021. Meanwhile, nearby Minneapolis Cider Company opened in 2014 and has thrived.
The reborn Crispin Cider will launch with three ciders in October 2023 – the Crispin Original [5% alcohol by volume – 10 proof], the Crispin Imperial [8% alcohol by volume – 16 proof and made from European bittersweet apples] and the Crispin Mango Mimosa [8% alcohol by volume – 16 proof] – with the trio all being offered in both six-pack and twelve-pack cans.
Crispin Cider will initially be made available regionally – in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin – but is expected to expand both nationally and into the UK by 2025, although Crispin is also expected to be available for delivery sales to 41 states beginning in October.
