Apparently Loblaw changed the packaging and label of their cider, and made it not necessary to refrigerate, thus I couldn't find it in the store when i was looking in the fridges... It's now called ...

Delicious. Going to need to buy more of this, lots of growlers at the store in case anyone was wondering. Well hopped, good bitterness, don't even notice the 6.8% alc. until it's too late... P.S. Tried the Cigarette-way City IronSpike Ale, not as bad as everyone was saying, but did taste like the sm...

Hello all. I'm having a bit of trouble, and wondered if any of you had ideas. I have been making homemade hard cider for a few years now, and have always relied on President's Choice Apple Cider.

Man, pretty corny video, but the message overall is pretty good, I couldn't stop drooling over their equipment in the backgrounds.... My homebrewing isn't at the stage a lot of their stuff was at, but I'll just keep dreaming. Some interesting points.... An est. 750,000 homebrewers in the U.S.? Wow. ...

1. Trafalgar Brewery
2. Stratford Brewery
3. Walkerville Brewery

Oh wait, BEST OCB breweries?....
