Brewer's Background:

Founded by brothers Alex and Andrew Perez, Highpoint Cider began with a leap of faith—and over 200 trial batches. What started as a passion project in a destroyed kitchen turned into a community-driven craft cidery in the heart of the Tetons. Blending Alex’s business savvy with Andrew’s biochemistry expertise, the duo launched their taproom in 2021 with a focus on crafting dry, balanced, and adventurous ciders using high-quality ingredients. Sustainability, inclusivity, and fun are core to their mission, and their bold, creative ciders reflect that ethos with every pour.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 40–45°F. Alpenglow is perfect on its own or paired with tangy goat cheese, grilled fish tacos, herbed couscous, or a vibrant berry salad. It's also an ideal refreshment après-hike, après-ski, or anytime you're chasing sunsets in the mountains.

With its eye-catching blend of fruit and herbs, Alpenglow is a cider for the curious, the bold, and the thirsty. Whether you're sipping it by a campfire or on your front porch, it’s an ode to the glow of the mountains—and the spirit of those who venture beyond the ordinary.
