Drink Local – the Cider House Rules

Cider has come a long way baby…

…plain old apple cider, while still nicely refreshing, is so last century.

Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighborhood welcomes a new player to the vicinity with Vancouver’s first cider tap house and eatery…aptly named The Cider House.  We’re lucky to have them.

 I went to their soft opening last Friday with my friend Tamara and we were both pleasantly surprised to see their extended selection.  In fact I wasn’t sure which cider to sample first so I decided to go with a flight of four different types from their extensive tasting menu.  Blackberry Hibiscus, Rosé , Passion Fruit and Oak Aged. All made in house; all excellent.  Tamara sipped on  their local apricot cider.

The food menu looks good too, but I’ll have to go back.  For their opening they ordered pizza from Virtuous Pie on Main St.  Can’t complain.
