One nice thing about having samples delivered: I don’t have to go out and risk coronavirus infection to get beer. Or cider, in the case of today’s arrival: Portland Cider Company RazzBerry.

RazzBerry features loads of bright raspberries combined with Northwest-grown apples, a touch of lemon zest, and juicy Hood River Valley pears. Easy-drinking, thirst-quenching and refreshingly tart, the cider is 5.8% ABV and ideal for barbecues and outdoor adventures. [As long as you keep your social distance –Ed.]

This one is just out this month, and is also available in 19.2-ounce stovepipe cans.
