While cider is rapidly gaining traction in the alcoholic beverage market, Brodie Thomas, founder of Calgary's Uncommon Cider Co. is unconcerned with hopping on a bandwagon in the name of profit. Instead, he is intent on positioning cider in its traditional English form, with real ingredients, made the old-fashioned way. Mashing, fermenting, waiting. Each batch unique. But aside from sticking to traditional process, and a steadfast adherence to an "apples-in-sweeteners-out" philosophy, Uncommon is unafraid to experiment with different flavorings, so long as they are natural, and support the brand's bold philosophy. Uncommon is also resourceful and socially-mindful, making use of apples collected from the backyards of Calgarians, to create an annual, but limited batch of "YYC Cider" - keeping true to its claim as Western Canada's only "urban cidery".

There's a lot of noise out there. But rather than fight it - we dive in. Real conversations, in real environments, real spontaneity. We meet with entrepreneurs in crowded coffee shops, busy factory floors, street corners and less than perfect phone lines. Celebrating the sometimes hidden signals of background noise.
