Island Folk Cider House - Cider flight: dry to sweet - Cideries Near Me - Sydney, Nova Scotia

Just a 10 minute walk from the waterfront is this cheerful place. I went inside and ordered a flight and then went to sit in the small patio replete with yellow table umbrellas to await delivery. A perfect place to be outside on this hot summery day and enjoy some really good ciders. The flights are a choice of four from their large selection of hard and sweet ciders, all made from Nova Scotia apples. 4 ounces each so you get an ample 16 ounces in all. They were all excellent and unique. Little Bestie was a "grapefruit margarita" with lime, mint, jalapeno, and ginger. The Breton Hopped had added hops for an intriguing bitter floral taste. There was the Rebel Rose, infused with rose petals. The Strawberry Lime was the only non-alcoholic of the four. All were excellent and the apple came through even the more complex mixes like the margaritas. All except the Strawberry Lime were on the dry side of the sweetness spectrum, and that's good with me. They have events like trivia nights and music. These would surely keep me coming if I lived nearby, which I don't. But a nice place to visit. read more

We came here today while in town on a cruise and on a cider and pub tour. Of the three places we visited this was a true gem. We enjoyed several different ciders from the local Island Folk Cider House. The cider maker explained the process of the making of the ciders and basically said they make cide from a lot of fruits from local sources...all quite interesting. The team from Island Folk was very small, but they put their hearts in the product. We met someone named Kiera Folds (I hope I spelled it right), a true shining star who talked about the ciders. If you come to this town, COME HERE....! read more

One of the best cider houses I've ever been to. They do not over carbonate their cider which makes a massive difference and they had such delicious flavors to choose from. The drinks were masterful and complex. The owners were absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable of their product. This has to be a go-to whenever I come back to this great port. read more

Live music on Sunday afternoon - I got to play with the fiddlers! I could barely keep up with them. The beer and chips are good too. The atmosphere is friendly. I enjoyed this place very much. The staff is friendly too. The place was hopping and it was just a fun afternoon in a crowd playing music with fiddlers all around me. read more

A short walk from the Holiday Inn Sydney Harbor, where we were staying, this was a charming spot w/ an incredibly friendly & informative server! We tried the four-flight tasting of their ciders--& all were crisp, dry, & refreshing (especially good for a hot sunny day). Well worth the visit! read more
