Yip Blueberry Picnic Cider

Blueberry sweetness sits on New Brunswick apples. The shop calls this can semi-sweet and built for a picnic, served cold.

The Mackay family makes the cider at Long Reach. Their about page says fermenting, filtering and canning happen on the farm. Yip bought that land in 1964.

Alcohol is 5 percent. The can is 473 ml. The shop price was $4.78. The line on the can reads NB apples plus blueberries.

This is not the dry original, which is 6 percent and has no berry.
