Thanks again for supporting the growing craft cider movement. Lots of folks have thrown out some good suggestions in the comments however many of those are made from concentrate. I urge people to seek out the small quality operations that handcraft their ciders straight from the apples. More over look for the ones using traditional cider varieties of bittersweet and bittersharp apples. The "bitter" these apples provide are equal to the tannins found in good wines.

Love the article!!! And... thanks to whomever is responsible for the http://www.Oldtimecider.com link above. I appreciate the link.

After years of folks being subjected to overly sweet hard ciders from concentrate, real traditional ciders are on their way back into the hearts of North Americans. Its been a long time too. Love all the great cider feedback in the comments.

Avoid the concentrate made ciders and look for the real deal. And... Just because it is made from fresh pressed apples doesn't mean it is good. There are good and bad out there just like wine. If you get a bad one move on and find the ones you like just as you would with wines.

For those in British Columbia, Vancouver Island actually has another wonderful cider maker besides Merridale by the name of Sea Cider. Really excellent cider and great folks. http://www.seacider.ca
