The Side Project We are 6 mates who love brewing craft beer and crushing heritage cider apples in Kalangadoo. Independently owned, small batch and 100% delicious. Stay crafty.

From cubby houses to old school autos to extensions on the house, screenplays, art projects and that guitar that gathers more dust than you'd care to admit – side projects are a time-honoured tradition. And that's what our Cide Project is all about – tradition. Traditional cider apple breeds with funny and fancy names like Cox's Orange Pippin and Calville Blance de Hiver – all organic and sourced

from lovely Kalangadoo. Traditional tools and techniques. And a traditional passion for great cider. So pop my top, take a sip and experience the bright side of cider.

We think Jimmy and Georgie at The Bunyip Hotel Cavendish are pretty amazing, and it seems we aren't alone! Exceptional food and service and we reckon the drinks list is pretty tidy too 😉.

This must be one of Australia’s best kept secrets: a five-course meal from a fine dining chef in one of the country’s most charming pubs. And it costs under $50.

Thanks Real Cider Reviews for the write up on The Doo - our Dry Cider. "This is pretty much what I’m looking for in an afternoon cider. Nice and dry with plenty of fruit forward flavours. It’s built as a modern new world cider but has the bold fruit of the old world, making it highly desirable. It treads that line between a relaxing bevvy and being complex and exciting enough to keep you coming back for more." Hugh McKeller.

Available on our website.

The Doo Kalangadoo Cider is a new project by The Side Project, South Australia's Cidermaking band of mates who make the cider after-hours.

Independently owned + Small batch

In 2006 Pete and Caz planted an orchard of cider apples in Kalangadoo – and very quickly discovered they weren’t all that good eating. Consequently their cows were very happy (and fat).

It wasn’t until 2014 we thought we’d have a crack at making cider. We spent our weekend creating 100L of juice with 3 Breville juicers in the back shed.

Today our Side Project has grown into a independent craft cider and beerworks, that proudly calls Kalangadoo and the Limestone Coast home.

The Side Project, by your craft beer and cider mates in Kalangadoo - Jamie, Sally, Anita, Caz, Pete, Joe (and Jim).
