A Crafty New Collaboration Brings the Spirit of Halloween to Your Glass
Cassandra Peterson, famously known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is stepping into the craft beverage realm with an intriguing collaboration that’s set to delight beer and cider fans alike. Partnering with Bauman’s Cider Co. from the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, they’re unveiling a seasonal delight aptly named “Elvira’s Spicy Pumpkins.” This launch coincides perfectly with the onset of the spooky season, making it a must-try for those who relish innovative flavor pairings.
This marks Elvira’s first foray into cider, capturing her iconic gothic appeal through a unique blend. With a foundation of fresh-pressed dessert apples, this cider is enhanced by cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and clove, achieving a perfect blend of sweetness and spice. At 6.7% ABV, this cider promises to be a delicious companion for your autumnal adventures.
From Heritage Orchards to Halloween Charm
Bauman’s Cider Co., steeped in a rich family history, has always embraced the seasonal bounty of their farm. Just as craft beer taps into the essence of its ingredients, Bauman’s integrates locally-sourced apples to create beverages that celebrate both tradition and creativity. This collaboration with Elvira explores this spirit with an experimental edge that both cider and craft beer enthusiasts will appreciate.
The birth of “Spicy Pumpkins” followed extensive taste trials, bringing together Cassandra’s vibrant personality and Bauman’s commitment to authentic flavors. As Cassandra Peterson expresses, “I’ve always adored pumpkins, whether they’re carved into lanterns or, now delightfully, in a cider. Spicy Pumpkins is so delicious it’s frightening! I can’t wait to enjoy it with my fans.”
Celebrate Autumn’s Bounty with Elvira’s Magic Touch
For Bauman’s, the annual pumpkin harvest resonates deeply, akin to a central theme in craft beer where local ingredients play pivotal roles. The farm is a cherished gathering spot for festive activities like pumpkin carving and cider sipping, emphasizing community and tradition. “The spirit of harvest defines us,” says Christine Walter, founder of Bauman’s Cider Co. “Creating a cider with Elvira had to be bold, cheeky, and a tad spicy—just like the season itself.”
As “Spicy Pumpkins” graces shelves and taps from Oregon to Minnesota, cider and beer aficionados alike can indulge in this seasonal offering, now available to 42 states through Bauman’s online store. This new release isn’t just a drink; it’s an invitation to explore and embrace the flavors of fall, with a cheeky Elvira twist.
