Broski was named the 2021 GRAND NATIONAL CHAMPION after winning three GOLD Medals in the event.
Broski Ciderworks was awarded three championship medals this year:
GOLD MEDAL Award in the Cherry Category for Broski’s Cherry Cider, a black and red cherry cider with strong cherry flavor and character. A true marriage of acidity, sweetness that you will cherish. Petillant. Semi-Sweet. Gluten-Free. 6% ABV.
GOLD MEDAL Award in the Berry Category for Broski’s Black Currant Cider, our take on traditional English blackcurrant ciders, brewed with fruit native to the UK and northern parts of America. It offers dark “jammy” flavors balanced with bright acidity. Petillant. Semi-Sweet. Gluten-Free. 6.5% ABV.
GOLD MEDAL Award in the Wood-Aged Cider Category for Broski’s Sir Dickens Cider, an apple cider aged in White oak cask barrels. Smoky, mild wood flavors are carefully balanced by the crispness of apples. Petillant. Semi-Sweet. Gluten Free. 7% ABV
