🍎With super fans such as their town mayor in their corner, Annapolis Cider Company has become a cornerstone in Wolfville, and articles such as this in the Chronicle Herald helps bring word of their growing brand to many new super fans.

🍎Being relatively new on the scene hasn't stopped Maritime Express Cider from racking up awards for every cider they entered at the recent Wine Align Awards. The Dayliner (semi-sweet) scored Silver, while the Train Hopper hopped cider and the Pullman Series Russet Cider both scored Bronze.

🍎Quietly winning awards along the way, Meander River Farm and Brewery regularly hosts dinner and event experiences. Follow them on Facebook to (try to) keep up with them, and visit them at Open Brewery Day on October 19, when they will re-release their Smoky Chipotle Porter Beer (Bronze, Cdn Brewing Awards 2018)

🍎Halifax's Urban Cidery, Chain Yard, is no stranger to the awards circuit, winning every year since they've opened! Take a look at the awards they've won just this year, and be sure to stop in when you are in the city.
