The Uncommon Cidery started small a couple years ago, with co-founders Brodie Thomas and Andrew Duncan pioneering the process in Calgary.

"Cider is a very weird category," said Thomas. "You kind of straddle the wine market. If you're doing real craft cider, you get fruit once a year, you ferment it during that period and that's all you have for the year. It's an exciting product. It spans the gap between ciders and craft beers."

Uncommon bottles four types of cider: a basic dry craft cider; another made with hops that's not bitter like an IPA but floral with lychee notes; a pale pink sweet-tart cider made with Alberta haskap berries; and one they launched for Canada 150 called the Great Northern Wild.
