Big Bang Cider makes traditional dry, vintage-based ciders from its own heritage cider-apple orchard, plus a small run of modern dry ciders with farm-grown hops, local berries and fresh quince; for now the cider is sold only at the farm.
Big Bang Cider's packaged cider (HTS 2206.00.15, "Cider, fermented, whether still or sparkling") can no longer ship to the US: the US import ban on listed Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty that applied from August 22, 2026. The cidery says its cider is currently sold only at the farm, and we found nothing about US sales.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
Made in Canada
The cider is "Crafted on site" at the farm at 1235 Nanaimo Lakes Road in Nanaimo, BC, which calls itself "one of only a few 100% heritage cider apple orchards in BC" with "over 25 cider specific apple varieties from France, England and North America."
