Hard Way Cider

Kingston now has its own cider maker - Hard Way Cider Company located at 748 Development Drive. VisitKingston has a good article on the company. Open Tue-Sat 11:00-18:00. They started out to create really dry ciders, and their range expresses that. Different from most cider makers, they age the cider in oak barrels. They have some unusual flavours; for instance, one cider is aged in old tequila barrels.

I tried the Rogue cider and found it very dry but flavourful with a more complex flavour due to the barrel aging. Quite nice though I would prefer with food because of the extreme dryness.
