– Handlebar Hard Cider is the genre-busting beverage that put us on the map. Drinking Handlebar is like biting into a fresh, crisp apple right off the tree. It begins with a burst of refreshing sweetness, opens up into wholesome apple goodness, and finishes with a hint of tartness from the apple skin. Some call Handlebar “apple juice for adults”. But at 6.8 percent ABV, you might not want to drink it for breakfast the way you used to (or maybe you do. We don’t judge). Handlebar is our flagship and is changing the way people think about cider.– Hopped Up is Handlebar that is dry hopped with organic Citra Hops to bring out the aromatic fruitiness of the apples. It is citrusy with a burst of bright fruit flavor. It is the perfect blend of crisp and delicious and still 100% gluten free. With the hoppy familiarity of an IPA and the fruity nose of a Sauvignon Blanc it is truly the best of both worlds and what some are calling “the best tasting cider in Colorado.
