Hard Seltzer

Bulwark Cider House

Tribute to possibly the first hard seltzer in Nova Scotia

Pure McNab Black Cherry Hard Seltzer is a light and refreshing drink with only 100 calories and 5% ABV. This fruit-forward seltzer is also gluten-free and vegan.

Our inspiration for Pure McNab came from a great story. Like most good stories, they start with quite the problem. In this case, prohibition!

A.J. Davis was a local meat packer who set up a soda pop bottling plant on Georges Island.

Fun was to be had every weekend on Georges Island. With revellers coming from both Halifax side and Dartmouth, friends could meet in the middle of the harbour for a good time.

But as can be expected, it was more fun with something exciting to drink. So Davis started to produce a special concoction called Pure McNab. This secret hard seltzer was all the rage on those summer days on Georges Island over a century ago.

Now, you can be in on the secret. Serve chilled or on ice, each Pure McNab can is a packaged cocktail ready to be enjoyed. The perfect drink for any occasion.
