Producer's Background:

Founded in 2010 by childhood friends Lee Larsen and Aaron Sarnoff-Wood, 2 Towns Ciderhouse grew out of a shared passion for craft beverages and the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Inspired by their travels and the cider traditions of Europe, they began producing small-batch ciders in a converted taxi garage in Corvallis, Oregon. Today, 2 Towns is the largest craft cider producer in the state, operating three facilities and distributing to 15 states. Despite their growth, the brewery remains committed to crafting ciders from fresh-pressed fruit, never from concentrate, and to pushing creative boundaries in flavor development.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 45–50°F in a stemmed cider glass or tulip glass to enhance the aromas of pumpkin, spice, and apple. Hollow Jack pairs beautifully with roasted turkey, honey-glazed ham, butternut squash soup, or pumpkin cheesecake. It also makes a festive complement to fall gatherings, holiday meals, or a cozy evening by the fire.

Hollow Jack Pumpkin Cider is a masterclass in seasonal brewing, bringing together the sweetness of fresh fruit, the depth of caramelized pumpkin, and the warmth of autumn spices for a cider that’s both festive and endlessly drinkable.
