BC Cider Week is Back! Cideries across the province come together to celebrate their craft.

NORTH SAANICH, BRITISH COLUMBIA (May 17, 2021) – The Northwest Cider Association invites British Columbians to explore BC cider by visiting cideries and picking up BC cider at local retailers during BC Cider Week 2021, being held this month from Thursday, May 20 to Sunday, May 30.

Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse is one of many craft cideries in BC gearing up for BC Cider Week. “It’s not the BC Cider Week that we are accustomed to but we look forward to celebrating and bringing attention to our craft each year.” Says Kristen Needham, Sea Cider’s Founder and General Manager. “We believe that cider is for celebrating and that cider is worth celebrating.”

Cideries across the province are coming together to provide safe and creative ways for consumers to appreciate BC cider. From exciting seasonal releases to cider infused food pop-ups and more, cider lovers can stay up to date on what’s happening here. Working in cooperation with the Northwest Cider Association to celebrate BC cider is the BC Farm Crafted Cider Association. “This past year has brought on plenty of challenges for cideries throughout our province and we are lucky to have many local supporters,” says Melissa Dobernigg, a Board member of the BC Farm Crafted Cider Association. “BC Cider Week celebrates both those who make cider and those who enjoy cider,” says Kristen. British Columbians can support their local cideries during BC Cider week by purchasing cider, either directly from any of the nearly four dozen cideries in the province, or by purchasing cider through BC liquor stores and restaurants.
