OUR CIDER MAKER
Geoff Menu knows his fruit. His family is from the Okanagan. He also knows his booze. Geoff spent 30 years as a bartender – many folks at the bar would simply ask for the “Geoff special” knowing he would create something amazing. Geoff’s a hobbyist by nature and noticed the craft beer industry was exploding, but no one was making cider. He took his love of fruit and flavours and applied that to the cider he made – and Geo Cider was born. Geoff is still coming up with flavours – he likes it when people ask for something special and he gives them solutions! Come in and try Geo Cider – and ask for your favourite flavour.
THE GEO TEAM
The Geo Team is made up of the Ennis brothers Glenn and Ryan and their good friend Gregor Heieis… all 3 longtime friends of cidermaker Geoff Menu.
Glenn and Ryan are also professional stuntmen – if you’ve seen “Elf” (the fight with Santa at Macy’s), “The Revenant” (the bear that Leo DeCaprio fights), “Freddy v Jason” (Jason on fire) and 4 of the many guys getting killed in “Deadpool” and “Deadpool 2”, then you’ve seen some of their work.
Glenn also captained Canada in rugby, played in 3 World Cups, then went on to be the first foreign player in Japan for Suntory Rugby – taking them to a championship. He spent 10 years in Japan (and speaks the language fluently!) before starting on his stunt career. He was Steven Seagal’s stunt double for 6 years, he’s also worked with Liam Neeson, Al Pacino and Reese Witherspoon, to name a few.
Ryan is all about speed. He races cars and started (with Glenn) Peacemaker Filmworks – a local production company – that has filmed countless local productions and most of the action sequences in both Deadpool movies, Skyscraper with Dwayne Johnson, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Predator to name a few. He’s also a certified Bwana (safari leader) – trained in Africa – ask him about some of those stories!
Gregor is a sailor… he spent two years at sea on The Bounty – but he’s not only a mariner, he volunteers with the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue crew as well.
All three have travelled the world – Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America… The Geo Team is all about travel and the earth.
We are very proud to be the first company in Canada to import and use E6PR – eco-friendly 6 pack rings that contain zero plastic and are biodegradable.
