Freshly pressed Annapolis Valley apples, crisp malic acidity, and natural orchard sweetness. A award-winning handcrafted non-alcoholic cider.
Handcrafted in Nova Scotia, Canada, Bulwark Original Non-Alcoholic Cider captures the authentic heritage of Annapolis Valley apple orchards. Unlike mass-market sodas or overly sweet apple juices, Bulwark utilizes a proprietary cool-fermentation process using 100% freshly pressed local apple juice, carefully dealcoholizing the batch to preserve its authentic cider structure, delicate fruit esters, and natural tannic weight.
Offering a perfectly balanced, medium-dry profile at less than 0.5% ABV, it delivers bright orchard fruit aromas with a snappy carbonation bite. It brings an uncompromised, gluten-free cider ritual tailored for pub-style dining, outdoor gatherings, and mindful session drinking.
Pale gold pour, fresh Annapolis apple aromas, crisp malic-tannic core, and a dry finish—Gluten-free, <0.5% ABV.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bulwark Cider - Original
Expert answers to common questions about non-alcoholic options, ingredients, and delivery across Canada.
Are all non-alcoholic beers gluten-free?
Not all are. While we carry many gluten-free and gluten-removed beers, please check the 'Dietary Needs' section under 'Gluten Free' or look for the 'Gluten Free' badge on each product page.
Why should I buy craft non-alcoholic beer instead of commercial grocery store brands?
Our curated Canadian craft selection utilizes advanced de-alcoholization and traditional small-batch brewing methods, preserving the complex flavor profiles, hops, and body that mass-market brands strip away.
Is 0.5% really alcohol-free?
In Canada, any product containing less than 1.1% alcohol-by-volume (ABV) is considered alcohol-free because our body metabolizes that amount of alcohol faster than we can feel any effect.
More commonly world-wide, any product containing 0.5% ABV or less is considered alcohol-free.
Fun fact: many foods have some level of ABV due to their natural fermentation. Kombucha, breads made with yeast, overripe bananas, fruit juice, yogurt, soy sauces & vinegars can range from 0.2% ABV up to 1.2% ABV.
Can you get drunk from a 0.5% drink?
No, no matter how many drinks you might have at 0.5% ABV or less.
It’s almost impossible (rare health conditions do exist) for your blood alcohol content to reach 0.04% drinking these beverages. The main reason why your blood alcohol content can’t build up to a level that makes you feel drunk is because your body processes the alcohol in a <1.1% ABV beverage almost as quickly as you drink it.
