Revel Cider at the Market

London gave Revel Cider such a warm welcome last time they joined us at the Thursday evening farmers market. We thought it would be wonderful to have them back just in time to stock up for the holidays!

See you Saturday December 21st 2019 8-1

If you are unfamiliar with this amazing Ontario product, here is a short description from Tariq himself:

Hey friends, Tariq here.
Revel started as an obsession of mine, living on an organic vegetable farm named Manorun and falling in love with food and drink fermentation. In their outdoor kitchen, I made naturally fermented pickles, mulberry wine, and when the fall came, cider.
With my own enthusiastic naiveté, our cidery’s story begins. As time went by, we earnestly fell for our characterful native yeast fermentations. Now we let everything ferment with the organisms indigenous to the fruit and our cidery, impressing a sense of time and place on each harvest.

Our fermentations have always been oxidative, more out of necessity than anything else. We couldn’t afford stainless steel at the beginning, so we started with plastic and oak vessels. Learning to guide native yeast and bacteria with exclusively oxidative equipment has been an absorbing journey. Currently we age our ciders and wines on tannic apple pomace and grape marc, protecting them from oxygen while infusing texture and salinity.
Letting our microorganisms breathe in their youth, and continually digest plant material as they age, gives us a vibrant expression of both fruit and animal life. We’re truly proud of the bottles that leave our cidery and hope you enjoy drinking them as much as we enjoy making them.
