Cidercraft Magazine announced the winners of the second annual Cidercraft Awards today and BC Tree Fruits Cider Co. emerged as big winner, taking the Double Gold in the Hopped Cider category for Broken Ladder Apple & Hops. Cidercraft Magazine is the only publication dedicated to cider in Canada and the United States, and the BC cider makers were thrilled to be a two-time award recipient in what is fast becoming a prestigious set of awards.
“We are elated to once again be a recipient of a Cidercraft Award, and even more delighted to earn Double Gold in the Hopped category,” says Cidermaker Nadine Harrison. “Craft cider continues to be one of the fastest growing categories in the beverage sector." Harrison says BC Tree Fruit Cider Co. is an authentic homegrown producer featuring handpicked fruits crushed in the mill, with the juice then fermented and packaged all on site at the cidery with no added water or processed sugar.
A group of over 30 judges located across North America go through over 450 products submitted from around the world over two full days of judging to pick the winners.
In total, there are 14 categories with a Double Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze awarded for each category.
