Portland Cider's True Brut Gets a Fresh Look and a New Six-Pack

Fresh packaging and a new take-home format arrive as the brand accelerates in Washington

CLACKAMAS, Ore. - September 2, 2026 - Portland Cider Company is giving True Brut, its zero-sugar, zero-carb, exceptionally dry, celebration-ready cider, a festive new look and a fresh way to bring the bubbles home. Beginning September 1, the year-round cider will be available for the first time in 12-ounce six-packs, in addition to the 19.2-ounce Proper Pint cans. All the cans have been redesigned to reflect the bright, bubbly cider inside.

The cider itself remains unchanged. Fermented with a sophisticated champagne yeast and made with Northwest-grown apples, True Brut delivers crisp apple notes, a stone-fruit aroma, assertive carbonation and a full-bodied mouthfeel, followed by a bone-dry finish. The 6.9% ABV cider has no sugar and zero carbohydrates per 12-ounce serving.

The expanded format arrives as Portland Cider builds strong momentum in Washington State. Recent retail sales data ranks Portland Cider as Washington's fastest-growing established cider brand by dollar growth. Sales increased 67.8% in the state, year over year. The new six-pack gives Washington shoppers a familiar take-home format for one of Portland Cider's driest year-round offerings.

"Cider fans across the Pacific Northwest have been showing up for Portland Cider, and we're excited to give them another way to find True Brut," said Jeff Parrish, co-owner of Portland Cider Company. "It's our cider for people who want their bubbles crisp, dry and super refreshing. The new 12-ounce cans make it easy to keep a few chilled for holiday gatherings, milestone moments or any event worth celebrating."

A Judges' Choice winner in Sip Magazine's 2024 Best of the Northwest awards, True Brut offers a cider alternative wherever sparkling wine might otherwise take center stage. Its clean, dry profile pairs especially well with oysters, fried chicken, steak, white truffle and black pepper cheddar, or as a celebratory toast all on its own.

True Brut’s new six-packs and updated Proper Pint cans are becoming available now at select retailers throughout the Pacific Northwest. Cider fans can locate Portland Cider offerings using the company's online Cider Finder.
