Living in Vancouver, Canada for a couple of years (I'm a Brit) shocked me at what passes for cider over here and in the USA. If you thought Strongbow was bad then you should try some of the 'ciders' here (I use the term loosely). They come in many fruit flavours and taste sugary, chemical and repulsive. I would love, not only to warn potential victims of these attrocities, but to find out if there is a list or association of craft cider & perry producers over here. -

Hi there Cider Wrangler!
I am currently in New Hampshire for our first thanksgiving. We have had some fantastic opportunities to meet real cider fans, we visited farnum hill cider today to meet Stephen who showed us around the mill. Timed right, as today was the first quiet day they had since august.
I hope to get a list of North American producers together from my travels once back in the UK.
We are looking forward to going to Quebec for an Ice Cider tour of two producers.. watch our real cider site for more details!
If you have any recommendations for suppliers near you, let us know and I will add them to the list.. We need to support all cider producers, and without your feedback, others may miss some the fascinating insight into discovering the craft of traditional cider making.

The only two I know are merridale ( http://www.merridalecider.com/ ) and sea cider ( http://www.seacider.ca/ ) but are not always easy to find, and are quite expensive, but well worth it as there are very few options over here
