FAQ
How is Spy Cider produced?
Spy Cider is produced using our geothermal power infrastructure, which consists of a row of 316-gauge stainless steel tanks and a hand-hammered copper still in our state-of-the-art in-house facility in Ontario. Our cider and spirits contain two types of fruit: the kind we grow ourselves on our organic farm in The Blue Mountains, and the kind we buy directly from our nearby neighbors. Our focus is local. Pressing the very best fruit on site allows Spy to create batches from the organic fruit grown on our farm.
