008: Cider Team | Les Vergers de la Colline, Quebec

Les Vergers de la Colline, Quebec Now Cidrerie Milton This epsiode was recorded in person with the team at that time of this Quebec based cidery. Note: The name of this cidery has changed since the time of this recording. This was in part due to the the difficulty of pronouncing Les Vergers de la Colline. So the owners took on the town name and shorten it all to Ciderie Milton! I, Ria, had the pleasure of interviewing four guys from Quebec who are passionate about cider making. Quebec is a french speaking province so were quite kind in helping each other and helping me understand what they are making at Les Vergers de la Colline. I know you will enjoy this Cider Chat! Cider making Team Les Vergers de la Colline of Quebec Canada Les Vergers de la Colline opened in 2003 and is now called Ciderie Milton Ciderie Milton's team The team is headed by Marc -Antoine Lasnier, whose family owns this Quebec cidery. Marc's family has been growing apples since 1926. They made cider during the Canada's prohibition and it should be noted that in 1920 beer, wine, beer and all alcohol was legal. Only cider was prohibited. Not until the early 1970's did cider become legal. Marc -Antoine Lasner You can listen to the story behind the prohibition of cider as Marc tells it.
