Blake’s Hard Cider, the Midwest’s largest craft cidery, is to release its newest Kinder Cider – Saint Cheri –Dec. 1.
As part of the Armada, Mich., company’s ‘Kinder Cider’ philanthropic product series, Blake’s has partnered with the Empowerment Plan, a Detroit-based nonprofit that employs and trains homeless women to manufacture a garment that serves as both a coat and a sleeping bag.
These coats are then distributed back to homeless individuals within the Detroit community and across the nation, at no cost to them. Blake’s Hard Cider has pledged a $10,000 donation to the organization.
The limited-edition bourbon barrel-aged semi-sweet hard cider is made with Michigan-grown Montmorency cherries that are slightly tart upfront with a smooth finish. Saint Cheri is one of three Kinder Cider rotating limited-edition hard ciders that support and raise awareness on social and environmental issues and organizations which share Blake’s values. Available only until February 2020, Saint Cheri is sold in 12-ounce six-pack cans in 18 states.
