Bruno the dog, the face of Big Bruno Hard Cider, sitting proudly next to cider cans.
Inspired by Big Bruno
Big Bruno is named in memory of our winery rescue pup, Bruno. A gentle giant mastiff mix, he spent his days wandering the winery grounds, soaking up attention, and—on occasion—stealing a slice of pizza from unsuspecting guests. He was a lover of food, naps, and making new friends, and his laid-back, lovable spirit lives on in every can of Big Bruno Hard Cider.
Five different flavors of Big Bruno Hard Cider cans
A Cider for Every Occasion
Whether you’re sipping by the fire, raising a glass with friends, or looking for a crisp, refreshing drink on a warm day, Big Bruno Hard Cider is always a great choice.
Stop by Carlos Creek Winery to try it for yourself—we’ll pour you a glass!
