TCB Premium Craft Cider
Our premium craft ciders take about 3 weeks. Since we are starting with real juice, this cider will tend to be cloudy and will vary a little depending on the time of year and the apples that are in season at that time. We are happy to add a little natural pectic enzyme to add clarity if you so desire!
Most of our customers come to us looking for a Dry Cider here in Vancouver and we’re happy to help! Why pay way too much for sweetened cider when you can come to Terminal City Brewing for cheap Craft Cider made just for you?
Hopped Cider Available – we are happy to dry hop your TCB Premium cider with anything in our Hop Library!
Kit Cider from Concentrate
We also carry kit ciders from a variety of companies – these ciders are a little quicker to ferment and will be sweeter than our premium cider. They will have more clarity than our craft cider.
These kits start out with concentrated juice. Dextrose (corn sugar) is added as much of the fermentable sugar is lost during the concentration process. Water is added to restore the original volume, then fermentation begins.
We can happily make any kit ciders as a double batch (46L) – just ask when ordering.
Kit ciders are a little quicker and are generally ready in about 2 weeks.
Caring for your cider
Cider can be stored upright and should be kept in a dark, cool place. We have successfully kept cider for 6+ months refrigerated without issue. Cider appreciates age and will mellow in flavour with time – like wine, our Craft Cider appreciates some aging time.
Bottles and Bottling
We offer a variety of bottling options. Choose the option that best suits your budget, preferences, and lifestyle. Caps and corks are always included when you bottle with us; we carry standard wine corks, crown caps, growler caps, and PET bottle caps. We also have single-use recyclable Aluminum Cans available.
Beer/Cider bottles can all handle pressurization, unlike wine bottles. You cannot put carbonated beverages into standard wine bottles as the corks will be ejected. We do have sparkling wine bottles available, however!
Want to dress it up? We’re the only U-Brew in Vancouver with Custom Cider Labels printed in-house! Create your perfect Vancouver Cider experience with our Premium Cider and Custom Labels!
You are always welcome to bring your own CLEAN bottles; we will help you sanitize them prior to use but your bottles must be free of stale beer/wine and most importantly mold-free. Please rinse your bottles at home immediately after using them. Black marks in the bottom of your bottles indicate contamination; such bottles should be discarded as they will negatively impact the taste and shelf life of your beer or wine.
