BUSINESS AFTER HOURS: Chain Yard Cider

Celebrate International Networking week and join us for an evening of networking with Chain Yard Cider! About Chain Yard Cider: Chain Yard Urban Cidery started in 2017, driven by a group of partners with a shared passion for well-crafted, quality cider. Hailing from backgrounds in tourism, hospitality, and cider making, their combined experience fuelled the establishment of the first cidery in Halifax. A strategic choice led them to set up shop in Halifax's hip North End, where they transformed a former hair salon/café into a production facility and taproom. Chain Yard produces awesome, approachable, unique and traditional ciders made from 100% Nova Scotia apples. Embracing a wine-making approach, the cidery deliberately ferments their ciders slowly and at a cool temperature to preserve the nuanced flavors of the apples. Apples are sourced from small and large producers in the Annapolis Valley, ensuring a steady supply of juice throughout the year. The cidermaker draws fresh inspiration from each batch of juice, resulting in a dynamic selection of seasonal products alongside core ciders. The taproom at Chain Yard buzzes with a lively community energy, serving lunch, dinner, and late-night beverages daily. A seasonal menu is a highlight, featuring renowned fried chicken dishes, diverse vegan options, […]
