Every fall I have to make a pilgrimage.
And while I used to drive to South Berwick, Maine this year I had to drive farther … down to Dover, New Hampshire because the cider I crave has moved in to larger new digs.

This is small batch hard cider and has a very limited distribution range. Even if I do manage to find an elusive 4 pack in a store up our way, it’s never the seasonal flavors I want.

With that many varieties, we had to do a flight.

Which made me add a melon crush and a ginjah baby to the three packs of squashed I brought home. .

You’re looking at $90 worth.
The prices make me gasp every time… $18 a four pack, which is $4.50 per can.
Insane.
But then so is the apple-y goodness.

Interesting flavors. You’ve made me miss my Palm Springs home. We had apple orchards 30 minutes away. Every Fall we’d go for cider, apple picking and other goodies.

I like hard cider as an alternative to beer or wine. It’s so much more than just apple now…

I remember visiting Canada in college and they had hard cider. I didn’t like the taste back then, because I was used to regular old beer.

It’s come a long way since then. So many flavors and degrees of sweetness.

Ick to the banana one. The other ones look delish!
Those are the kinds of prices they charge us here in 🇨🇦 😵💫

The banana tasted nothing like banana, the coconut was overpowering and awful.

A far cry from back in the day before apple cider was pasteurized. We would buy a gallon and leave it out of the refrigerator to ferment, then chill when it was the way we wanted it. A gallon of hard cider then cost less than a 12 oz can now. Of course, it was only apple-flavored.

The good ol’ days cider was much cheaper.

How fun! I miss all kinds of cider. Is it a drier, or sweeter type?

They have dry and slightly sweet. The ones I chose are medium sweet.

Those are pretty good prices!
Sadly, our local cidery closed without warning last month.

The best hard cider I’ve ever had was in Normandy France – we have hard cider here but it’s not as robust!
