Portland Cider Releases Squeeze Play, the Official Cider of the Hillsboro Hops
As the Hillsboro Hops baseball season began earlier this month as the Class A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team has once again partnered with Portland Cider Company. The two have teamed up for the release of Squeeze Play, the official cider of the Hillsboro Hops!
Squeeze Play is juicy and refreshing, ideal for an afternoon at the ballpark, summertime barbecues and Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Inspired by a classic margarita, the cider is bursting with fresh-squeezed lemon and lime juices accentuated by the floral and citrus aromas of Citra hops, and finished with a pinch of salt. Notes of ripe melon and lychee on the nose anchor the bright, fresh citrus flavors that are enhanced by light hoppiness, finishing tart and dry. 6.5% ABV.
“At Portland Cider, we’re huge fans of the Hillsboro Hops, and we’re pleased to continue our partnership with them for a third year,” said Portland Cider co-owner Jeff Parrish. “Squeeze Play is everything a sunny-day cider should be: refreshing, memorable and versatile. It’s crafted to taste great with all the classic ballpark foods, and is just as enjoyable for sipping on its own while you root for the home team.”
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with one of Portland’s favorite and most-decorated cider brands,” said Matt Kolasinski, Sr. Vice President of Partnerships and Operations for the Hillsboro Hops. “Jeff, Lynda, and the Portland Cider team have been great partners and we’re thrilled to have Squeeze Play back with a new design for the 2024 season.”
Squeeze Play is available on tap at Hillsboro Ballpark during Hops home games throughout the season. It can also be found at Portland Cider’s taproom and by using its Cider Finder.
