SunRype has been one of Kelowna91裸聊视频檚 economic mainstays for 70 years, and the company is celebrating its ongoing success with a tasty homage to its past.

91裸聊视频淲e were feeling nostalgic and looking for a way to celebrate,91裸聊视频� said Dave McAnerney, president and CEO of SunRype Products Ltd.

To find some inspiration representatives delved into the book Deep Roots and Strong Branches, written by Ian Greenwood and Sharon Simpson.

There they learned of another way that the company was a local pioneer. In the 1950s SunRype produced B.C. Sparkling Cider, a hard drink, that was processed and bottled by the Caribou Brewing Company in Penticton.

91裸聊视频淲e always thought it was a soft cider, but we found out it was an alcoholic cider,91裸聊视频� said McAnerney. 91裸聊视频淲hat better way to celebrate the past than bring back that product?91裸聊视频�

The revamped product, wrapped in retro labelling that is applied by hand, is simply SunRype Cider and the partnership bringing the product to local shelves is with Big Surf Brewery, also from the Okanagan.

McAnerney is excited for the new product, which is not the first, second-coming of SunRype91裸聊视频檚 duo into alcoholic beverage production. They are already partnering with Big Surf for their Rider Cider, which was the first big step in changing the company91裸聊视频檚 profile.

McAnerney pointed out that SunRype used to be known as a fruit snack and beverage company, but with the development of hard ciders and even a coffee line91裸聊视频攂orn from a partnership with JJ Bean Coffee Roasters91裸聊视频擲unRype is a food and beverage company with an international portfolio.

91裸聊视频淭hat shift is creating further opportunity for growth,91裸聊视频� he said, noting that the cold coffee they now produce is packed in the Kelowna plant, where 300 area residents are employed.

91裸聊视频淲hat else is changed in recent years we have expanded into the US, and we91裸聊视频檙e happy with the growth we are seeing there and in China.91裸聊视频�

Now that the company has an international reach, some of the ownership locals once felt for it has faded away. Quite often people he speaks to are surprised to find out SunRype is a Kelowna based company, and not run out of California and Ontario.

McAnerney says he hopes to change those misconceptions in the days to come.

91裸聊视频淲e support local because we want to see friends and neighbours succeed,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淧art of what we91裸聊视频檙e trying to do this year is remind people we are a local company.91裸聊视频�

SunRype still operates in the heart of B.C91裸聊视频檚 Okanagan Valley, where the company first launched its flagship 100% Pure, Not from Concentrate Blue Label Apple Juice. Today, SunRype is an iconic Canadian brand, but has continued to innovate to stay relevant to today91裸聊视频檚 consumers with the launch of many new food and beverage products.

SunRype Brand Okanagan Apple Cider is available in 650ml bomber-style bottles at select private liquor stores in B.C.
