Prairie Bears Cider Co. makes small-batch ciders from its own prairie orchard: Original Apple (473 ml cans, 5.2%), Farmhouse Dry from French cider-variety apples, Alberta Prairie Berry, Ginger Pear and seasonals like Cherry Rhubarb and Blueberry Bergamot, and since 2025 it also makes the canned True North Cider range; it presses alcohol-free ciders too.
Prairie Bears Cider Co.'s ciders, including its True North Cider cans (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 on September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty from August 22, 2026.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.
