Tony's Craft Cidery

This is a review for the ciders, no the location itself. Here is a short run down of the five ciders I tried: First up I tried the Bippoty Bop and the Perry, I will group them together because there was nothing special about either. The sweetness in both was very prominent, in what seems to be an attempt at covering up the harsh phenolic odor and taste (plastic like or reminiscent of adhesive bandages). Up next I tried the Cherry Bomb. This is by far the worst of the five I had tried, and one of the worst ciders, if not the worst, I have ever tried in my life. We have moved on from tasting like bandages and tasting like metal. Apple and Cherry was not only unidentifiable, but it didn't exist, Next up was the "OG Dry" Not sure what "OG" is supposed to stand for exactly, Obviously Gross maybe. Upon my first sip, all I could taste was detergent, there was nothing "Dry" about it, the only distinguishable difference is that it wasn't loaded with sweetener like the Bippoty Bop and the Perry. Lastly was the Pekoe. This cider I actually enjoyed, mostly because it tasted like an alcoholic tea or a kombucha. The flavors from the black tea and lemon were enough that you don't really taste the base cider flavor, and most consumers, if they were to have a blind taste test, probably wouldn't even know its a cider. But I did actually enjoy this one. All In all, I believe the cider was fermented at too high of a tempterature and judging by their appearance I think they were probably bottled after only 2 weeks or so, they are very cloudy and feel unfinished and unrefined. The tastes of the fruit are not easy to identify and the product itself feels lost, hopelessly attempting to fit in to its labels description. The labels themselves are oddly dated and sad, the products have no unique identity. Each one of these ciders tasted like an amateurs first home brew, the only difference is that most homebrews I can drink and analyze, while 4 out of 5 of these ciders I had too pour down the sink after the first few steps. I wish them nothing but the best in the future, but they are in desperate need of a new branding (Naming the cidery after yourself and then putting a photo of yourself on the label is not only conceited, but sad). They are also in need of new labeling, but most importantly, a new cider maker.

Stopped in for a flight of ciders and got some full bottles to take home - a cute spot with a great view and friendly service! Excited to have a cidery close to our new home!

Probably the best cider i have had. It was about my 5th cidery i visited so not an expert. We stopped after spending the day in Monashee provincial park. The tasting was free and so good. The service was nice too. They offer small ready to eat plates you can take on their porch. The only problem, not on the main roads that i often use like the vernon to kelowna or vernon to kamloops. Hope they have other point of sale. Would be nice to know when you stop by

I stopped here on the way home from getting some bones for my dog and I’m glad I did! I have never seen these ciders in the store but it’s more than worth the drive to pick them up directly. I’m a huge fan of cider but this is the best I have ever tried. Cannot say enough good things about this delightful stop along the highway that I never knew I needed!

Kudos to the owner - a top man and they make a great selection of cider. Nice to see them making a go if it having started up just before a pandemic. Great addition to the local scene and I wish them every success

We stopped to get apples but the smallest bag was too big for us, so we went in, tried some ciders and bought 3!! The woman working let us take apples to equal a half $10 bag. Very lovely cider and very lovely apples!!

Great cider - really loved the Chai and Pekoe ciders. Excited to see how this little cidery grows and develops.

Great variety of ciders. We got a flight and ended up buying a bottle of Paradise and Bippidy bop. Loved the samosas (LOVED the sweet dipping sauce). There's some cute local jewelry to buy. Also cherry juice bags in a box wine box. It was quite chilly inside so we didn't stay long. No seating.
