Farmland teams up with Number 12 Cider to launch maple bacon cider for Fall season

As the leaves start to change colors and the air grows crisp, nothing says fall like a good cider. But not just any cider, this year, Farmland has teamed up with Number 12 Cider from Minneapolis to bring a truly unique flavor to the table: Maple Bacon-flavored Cider. Yes, you heard right, bacon-flavored cider!

This limited-edition drink arrives just in time to celebrate both National Cider Month and National Pork Month in October. It’s a daring combo that marries the smoky, savory taste of bacon with the sweet richness of maple, all balanced with the crisp tartness of fresh apples. The idea might sound a bit out there, but it’s this bold inventiveness that captures the essence of fall in a glass.

Farmland is renowned for its high-quality pork products and by introducing the Maple Bacon-flavored Cider, they’ve created a must-try experience for both cider aficionados and adventurous foodies. Brewed using locally sourced apples and natural smoked bacon flavoring, this cider promises a dance of sweet and savory on your palate, with a hint of smokiness that’s perfect for autumn evenings.

For those who find themselves craving this bacon-infused concoction at home, you’re in luck, by mid-October, 12 oz. cans will be available in four-packs for $12, so you can enjoy this fall beverage in the comfort of your own space.

Mark your calendar for October 19th! Number 12 Cider is throwing its sixth Anniversary Party, and the Maple Bacon-flavored Cider will be taking center stage. The first 50 guests lucky enough to order this festive drink will enjoy their first glass for free, plus a coupon for Farmland bacon—because who doesn’t want more bacon? The party promises to be a blast with photo ops, live music, and exclusive wood-fired pizzas topped with, you guessed it, Farmland bacon.

Clara Meschini, Farmland’s associate brand manager, expressed excitement about this partnership, noting that “This one-of-a-kind blend of sweet and savory perfectly taps into the fall season, and we’re excited for our bacon fans to try it out.” It’s clear that both Farmland and Number 12 Cider are dedicated to creating exceptional, innovative flavors that resonate with their customers.
