Urban restaurant ciders
Located in Toronto’s east end, Brickworks Ciderhouse is the first urban cidery and restaurant in Ontario. A tiny cidery housed in the basement acts as a laboratory, where cidermakers experiment by blending everything from pomace to fresh mint into their ciders. The most popular get scaled up, and the best end up on LCBO shelves.
Brickworks Ciderhouse Blossomed Oak
LCBO 19979, 473 mL, $4.25
This semi-sweet cider gets its velvety vanilla flavours from French and American oak. Pair it with buttery cheeses, a coconut-milk-based curry or a soup like laksa or tom kha gai.
Brickworks Ciderhouse Raspberry Peach
LCBO 19966, 473 mL, $3.50
This cider was such a hit in the Brickworks mixed pack that it’s now being released in a single can. Tart raspberry mixes with sweet peach and light hibiscus florals in this ruby red beauty.
