Introduced in 2014 by MillerCoors, Smith & Forge was created to provide a sturdy, traditional hard cider built for the modern drinker. Designed to revive the bold, dry-ish, and strong cider style popular in pre-prohibition America, it became a standout option for those seeking a less sugary craft alternative.
Developed at a dedicated craft brewhouse, this recipe utilizes high-quality apples to deliver a distinctively bold and classic American cider profile. It was formulated to celebrate the traditional, hardworking spirit of historical cider makers.
