750ml bottle of Hye Cider's Hye Hops cyser

HYE HOPS

Built for the folks who want the hop experience without the gluten.

Hye Hops is where cider meets attitude. Bright, citrusy hops bring a lifted, aromatic edge, while the apples keep everything crisp and grounded. It’s refreshing, punchy, and just a little wild — the pour you grab when you want something with personality but still clean enough to drink all afternoon.

Semi-dry and highly drinkable, Hye Hops delivers that familiar hop zing without any of the bitterness that scares people off IPAs. It’s approachable for cider lovers, exciting for beer drinkers, and the perfect middle ground for anyone who likes a little adventure in their glass.

WHY WE MAKE IT

Because hops don’t have to be brash to be beautiful.

With Willamette, you get aroma without aggression — a gentle floral lift that complements the apples and honey instead of fighting them. Hye Hops was built to be inclusive: bold enough for beer drinkers, smooth enough for cider lovers, and gluten-friendly for everyone in between.

It’s our nod to pub culture, Hill Country hangs, and the simple joy of a cold glass shared with good people.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY....

Hye Hops started as a simple gesture of hospitality. Beer drinkers would walk into our cider bar, curious but unsure, and ask if we had anything that tasted familiar. We didn’t want them to leave empty-handed — or feeling like cider wasn’t for them — so we began dreaming up a pour that could meet them right where they were.

The idea was straightforward: create a cider that offered the aromatic lift of hops without the bitterness of beer. Something bright, approachable, and naturally gluten-friendly. What we didn’t expect was how versatile it would become.

Hye Hops quickly became a favorite not only for beer fans, but also for cider drinkers looking for something a little different. The flavor fit seamlessly into both spaces — so much so that our local brewery partners began asking to serve it themselves. What began as a solution for our guests grew into a true crossover cider.
