You will be Hard Pressed to find a better cider. This dry English-style cider (future logo pictured left) will not only refresh your thirst but will satisfy the ‘apple-a-day’ requirement. With tart hints of Granny Smith apples and a subtle sweetness, Hard Pressed will satisfy the discriminating cider palate.
Hard Pressed is made with apples grown and pressed at Deal’s Orchard in Jefferson, Iowa. The juice makes a short journey to White Oak Vineyards in Elkhart, Iowa where it is fermented with care by talented winemakers. Once fermented, the juice is transported to Olde Main Brewing Co. where final preparations are made before serving. Locally produced and fermented, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better one.
