Review: Crispin Rose Hard Cider
Crispin Rose Hard Cider was recently introduced. Founders Joe and Lesley Heron started making cider in Minnesota in 2004 after moving to the US from South Africa. In 2010 they acquired Fox Barrel Cider and moved all production to the Colfax California. In 2012 they were acquired by Miller-Coors. Today the Heron’s craft Copper and Kings American Brandy.
