✨ Last Call! ✨ Wolf in the Woods is almost out so make sure to stock up on this limited release before it's gone! Visit our ciderhouse or pick it up at a liquor store near you (see tagged). ⁠
.⁠
🐺 🌲 Botanically infused with hops and grand fir needles, Wolf in the Woods is a hard apple cider with a timberland twist. This unique union creates a dry cider that leads with grapefruit aromas and finishes with hopped herbal notes. The balanced botanicals of Wolf in the Woods pair well with salty and fried foods – try french fries and jalapeño poppers.⁠

Everyone meet Gus! We had the pleasure of having Gus join us on the farm yesterday with his humans Chelsey and Devin, who are also very cool! Our outdoor seating is dog friendly and at Sea Cider you can be sure that your dog will likely be given a beverage before you are - we just really really love dogs. 🥰 To stay up to date on the adventures of Gus, give him a follow at @goldengoodboygus 🐶⁠

We're ready for a chilly weekend with our mulled Wassail! Rich in flavour, deep in colour, and high in alcohol to warm the soul! 🍎⁠
.⁠
We follow the Anglo-saxon method of creating a spiced cider for the wassailing tradition by preparing cinnamon, clove and orange peel bitters that we age in oak barrels then blend into a cider we have pressed and fermented from the best of British Columbia apples.⁠

🍐 COMING SOON 🍐 - A rare drink from a secret

🍐 COMING SOON 🍐 - A rare drink from a secret orchard. So rare in fact that we haven't made this cider in 3 years! Vancouver Island perry pears have produced this exquisitely dry sparkler, combining classic English style with Vancouver Island’s pioneering roots. Sea Cider’s Perry is made with true perry pears – a type of pear grown only for crafting Perry – a drink originating in northern France and Britain. ⁠Perry is now produced in many countries using a variety of entirely conventional pears.⁠

This is a very limited release so make sure to sign up for our newsletter to find out when it is available (link in bio). Or better yet - join our Sea Cider Club to guarantee you will get some in our March Cider Club Release. Email club@seacider.ca to learn more!

Have you met Kingston? He is the proud owner of Sea Cider - or at least he thinks that he is! Small but mighty, Kingston is one of our longest employees here at Sea Cider and when you visit, you are likely to see him greeting our guests, supervising the tank room or surveying the orchard to ensure our organic practices are top notch. Thanks for your hard work Kingston - you're the best! Woof Woof! ⁠
