Two Blokes Cider
Two Blokes Cider is a craft cidery in Ontario that stands out in a few key ways — both in how they make their cider and the experience around it:
1. Farm-rooted, craft approach
• They started as a small, farm-based cidery, growing many of their own apples right on their orchard. This focus on local apples gives their ciders a very authentic, place-specific flavour
• Even after being acquired by Old Flame Brewing Co., they continue making cider with a focus on quality and local character.
2. Diverse and creative cider styles Instead of just one typical apple cider, they make multiple unique styles, from:
• Traditional single-varietal and traditional blends that highlight specific cider apples (like Dabinett or Porter’s Perfection).
• Fruit-inspired or flavored ciders — such as citrus blends, chai spice, herbal (lavender), and even apple “gose-style” ciders with salt and herbs.
• Innovative infusions and barrel-aged creations — like ones steeped with hops, tequila-oak aged with lime as a margarita-style cider, or ones with honey and spices.
This variety makes their lineup interesting for people who want more than a standard sweet cider.
3. Local ingredients and experimental flavours
Many of their creations use local Ontario fruits, herbs, and botanicals, showcasing regional flavours (like lavender from local growers). They will also age cider in barrels or add unusual elements like chai spices, coriander, or citrus purées to craft original flavour profiles.
4. Community and experience
Two Blokes isn’t just about the drink — the cidery itself has become a community spot with events, orchard spaces, picnic areas, and gatherings that invite people to savour cider in a relaxed, farm-like atmosphere.
5. Traditional but not boring
Even their traditional ciders aim for balance — they often lean dry, crisp, and tannic, showcasing real apple complexity rather than overly sweet or generic apple juice flavours.
In short: Two Blokes Cider is unique because it’s a locally grown, craft-oriented cidery that blends traditional cider authenticity with creative, diverse flavour experiments and a strong community and farm-centered identity — not just another mass-market cider.
