Merridale Cidery closes for a week because cider was sold to a minor

The closure stems from an incident July 19 when a minor working for the branch in its “minors as agents” program was able to purchase a one-litre bottle of cider withoutbeing asked for identification.

Merridale Cidery will be closed until March 12 as a penalty for contravening the Liquor Control and Licensing Act.

“A misstep occurred when one of our team members mistakenly sold a bottle of cider to a minor involved in a randomly selected liquor board undercover operation,” ­Merridale wrote in a social media post. “Despite our sincere plea for leniency, marking our first infringement since we opened our doors in 1990, we are ­graciously accepting the ­consequences and a week of closure assigned to right this wrong.
