Why Cider Club Membership Changes Everything
The Problem with Most Subscription Programs
Most subscription programs are designed to lock you in, make it hard to cancel, and slowly increase prices until you're paying way more than you signed up for.
That's not how we do things at Hardcore Cider Co.
Our Cider Club isn't about trapping you — it's about rewarding the people who support a small, land-based cidery in the Okanagan. The benefits are real, substantial, and designed to save you money while giving you guaranteed access to limited-production ciders — including releases that never go public.
1. You're Saving $58–$68 Per Delivery (Minimum)
The math is straightforward.
Cider Club costs $215 per case — 12 bottles (750ml each), delivered three times a year. That's $17.92 per bottle.
Retail value per case: $243+ (bottles range from $18.50–$21.95 each).
Product savings per delivery: $28+
Shipping? Free Canada-wide on every delivery. Non-members need to spend $250+ to qualify. Order less and you're paying $30–$40 every time.
- Product savings: $28+
- Shipping savings: $30–$40
- Total savings per delivery: $58–$68
Three deliveries a year: $174–$204 in annual savings before the 10% discount on additional purchases.
2. Locked-In Pricing for Life (First 50 Founding Members Only)
The first 50 founding members lock in $215 pricing for life. Costs go up. Shipping goes up. Founding members stay at $215 per case for as long as they remain active. Future members pay the current rate. Founding members won't.
3. The Vault: Access to What Never Goes Public
This is the benefit non-members can't buy their way into.
The Vault is our limited release program — small-batch ciders too labour-intensive, too experimental, or simply too limited to sell publicly. Batches of 300 litres or less. Ciders that take months of extra work, use rare ingredients, or push the boundaries of what we make.
Cider Club members get guaranteed allocation of every Vault release. Everyone else gets a waitlist — if they get anything at all. When you make cider from one crop per year, every litre matters. The Vault is where the most interesting work happens.
4. Guaranteed Allocation of Every Cider We Make
Beyond the Vault, members get guaranteed allocation of the full lineup. When Barrel Proof or Black Hole releases, it sells out fast. Non-members scramble. Members are covered — every release, every season.
5. Premium Unboxing Experience
Every delivery includes printed tasting notes and food pairing guides, occasional member surprises — branded merch, local Okanagan products, seasonal extras — and direct access to Jeff and the team. We're a small operation and we read every message.
6. 10% Off All Additional Purchases Year-Round
Members get 10% off everything, every time. No exclusions.
7. Delivery Flexibility
Going on vacation during a scheduled delivery? Email us and we'll reschedule. Want to swap bottles in your case? Just let us know before your delivery. We make it work.
What's the Commitment?
Three deliveries — one year. After that, cancel or pause anytime through your customer portal or by email. No hassle, no pressure.
If you're one of the first 50 founding members, you're locking in $215 pricing for life. The longer you stay, the better that rate looks.
Why This Matters
We're a small, land-based cidery in the Okanagan. One crop per year. Limited production. Limited bottles. Cider Club members get guaranteed access to everything we make — including the Vault releases that never go public — plus real savings, locked-in pricing, and personal service you only get from a small operation.
