Description
Revel started in 2014 as a solo passion project. Imagine our excitement when it turned out that, hey, lots of folks are fermentation enthusiasts!

By 2022, our team was seven people strong — with over 1000 cases of Revel bottles and cans shipped to discerning drinkers every month.

Our characterful native yeast fermentations explore the endless flavours Ontario has to offer. Combining farm-grown and foraged fruits, discovering what the fermentation process yields, and aiming to bring out the best of each ingredient is what makes us excited to come to work every day. (Well, that, and all the incredible smells.)

Vinous, but the strawberry cuts through that, and is actually somewhat dominant. Sweetish, but some tannins in the base cider.

Pale pink, nice bright plum on the palate, integrating well with the juicy apple. This is very good. The aroma isn’t as bright as the palate but still good.

Purple, vinous, nice apple base. The grapes are intense but it’s well-balanced, and the blackcurrants blend in seamlessly.
