The famous Nova Scotian schooner wasn’t the first mode of transport to use the Bluenose name. THE FLYING BLUENOSE was a luxury express train operated by the Dominion Atlantic Railway from 1891 to 1936, aimed at American summertime tourists, connecting Halifax with passenger steamers in Yarmouth.
Hopped Cider - 6% ABV
Train Hopper
Fresh citrus and hoppy aromas. Hints of grapefruit, floral and lemon notes mingle on the palate with a strong tart finish.

SMALL BATCH CIDERS
THE PULLMAN SERIES
Tired of uncomfortable rail travel, the American industrialist George Pullman developed the idea of a luxury sleeping car complete with a parlour, stateroom, dining room, and library, furnished with chandeliers and Cuban mahogany. By the late 19th century, the Pullman Company had perfected luxury travel, commissioning private and extravagant rail cars for the ultra-wealthy that attached to commercial passenger trains. In 1891 the Dominion Atlantic Railway purchased two Pullman parlour cars of their own - the Haligonian and Mayflower. The Pullman Series pays homage to these iconic trains with ciders that would have befitted George’s vision.
