2 Towns NA Sidekick Wins Big at the San Francisco Ready to Drink Competition

Corvallis, Ore.-- 2 Towns Ciderhouse is thrilled to announce their outstanding performance at the San Francisco Ready to Drink Competition, hosted by The Tasting Alliance. 

Founded in 1980 by Anthony Dias Blue, The Tasting Alliance has been conducting blind tastings  for over four decades. In recognition of the growing demand for top-tier ready to drink cocktails, they have expanded into the ready-to-drink sector, drawing submissions from around the world.

"We’re thrilled to share our craft beverages with the no and low alcohol space,” shares Dave Takush, head cidermaker of 2 Towns Ciderhouse “It's a great honor to have our efforts recognized by the Tasting Alliance. The exciting developments unfolding in the non-alcoholic sector inspire us, and we're happy to be recognized for our efforts."

2 Towns Ciderhouse NA offerings received the following recognition

The Sidekick™  N/A Cosmic Crisp®  - GOLD | Score: 91 

The Sidekick™  N/A Pacific Pineapple - SILVER  

2 Towns Ciderhouse's non-alcoholic offerings, including Sidekick N/A Cosmic Crisp® (awarded GOLD with a score of 91) and Sidekick N/A Pacific Pineapple (earning SILVER), are the result of a meticulous process that preserves the integrity of their original recipes, with the addition of the dealcoholization step. After fermenting with carefully selected ingredients, the alcohol is gently removed until it reaches less than 0.5% ABV, resulting in a newly-dealcoholized cider that stands as its own award-winning creation.
