Labor Day weekend is here and we’re all catching our last bits of summer sun and bites of BBQ. Celebrate a long year of hard work with Angry Orchard hard cider—a most refreshing way to end the summer!

Enjoy the fruits of your labor this Labor Day with Angry Orchard Crisp Apple (ABV 5%), a cider so crisp and refreshing that it tastes like you’re taking a bite out of a fresh apple. Available in both bottles and cans (12oz. & 16oz.), Angry Orchard Crisp Apple is perfect for when you’re grilling, chilling, or on-the-go.

Mixologist Jeremy Oertel, one of Food & Wine’s Best New Mixologists, uses hard cider to create light and refreshing cocktails with complex flavor profiles. There’s one for the whole party, and one made especially for you.
