Photos: Cidery shenanigans with the Sunday Cider crew

    1 of 17 2 of 17

      Between running their sausage and beer parlour, Bestie, and making their locally made and rapidly selling Sunday Cider, Clinton McDougall, Dane Brown, and Patrick Connelly have a lot on their plates.

      Somehow, they managed to find time in their busy schedules to invite the Straight down to their East Van cidery to find out a little bit about the cider-making process—and to take some goofy photographs in the yard where they'll be hosting their inaugural growler fill and the launch of their hopped cider this Saturday

      Scroll through these images and take a look inside their work space, and be sure to pop in this weekend for a taste of the only truly dry, made-in-Vancouver craft cider.

      Four fermentation tanks and one bright tank are used to create Sunday Cider.

      Sunday Cider is available in kegs and on tap at a handful of Vancouver restaurants and breweries.

      Doesn't get much fresher than that.

      While many ciders are made using an apple concentrate, Sunday Cider is made with apple juice sourced from the Similkameen Valley.

      Clinton McDougall checks on the apple juice, which will ferment in large bins until it's reached the desired sweetness. Then it's transferred into the fermentation tanks.

      Cloudy, rich, and divine. This was the best damn apple juice we've ever tasted.

      Smells like possibilities.
