Great food can be found in the most unexpected of places. In fact, that almost seems like a rule; the less auspicious the venue, the better the food is.

When we first met Adam Clawson and Nicola Mason of Red Rover Craft Cider seven years ago, they were working out of Picaroon’s former brewery location in an industrial park north of Fredericton. Since then, we’ve seen their operation grow to include their cidery and outlet off of Fredericton’s Hanwell Road to their very polished downtown boutique cider house, The Abbey along with several more market locations. In their nine years of operation, they’ve been recognized as an internationally award-winning cider producer, and can now be found in stores across Canada.
Now, the Red Rover Craft Cider has announced they’ve found a new place to call home, and a proper one it is. They’ve announced that they’ve acquired the historic Neill Family Farm, located in Devon on Fredericton’s Northside, and will be moving the full of the operations there in June of 2021.

Just because everyone is self-isolating, it doesn’t me you’re cut off from everything you love. Maintaining some semblance of normalcy is the only way most of you (not me, I’m fine) are going to get through the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s also the only way most small businesses are going to survive. DrinkNB.ca has been launched by Adam Clawson, owner of Fredericton’s Red Rover Craft Cider, to bridge that gap between many of the provinces craft breweries and their customers. The web service will allow zero-contact craft alcohol delivery in and effort to maintain social distancing while supporting local businesses.
