Hardcore Cider Co. grows its own Okanagan apples and makes five ciders in 750ml bottles: The Core apple cider, Unhazy Hopped with apricot and hops, Strawberry Ciderita, the blackberry barrel-aged Black Hole, and Barrel Proof, aged in whiskey barrels from Okanagan Spirits.
Hardcore Cider Co.'s packaged ciders (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 from August 22, 2026. We found no sign that the cidery sells in the US; it sells direct to customers in Canada through its website and Cider Club.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
Founder Jeff runs the orchards and makes every batch at the cidery at "6021 Star Road, Vernon, B.C.", from estate apples grown in Kelowna and Vernon; the site says "We grow our own apples, press them within 24 hours of harvest, and ferment under pressure in stainless steel" and that "The majority of the apples and fruit used in our cider comes from our Okanagan orchards."
