Pomona Award 2026 Winner

2026 Winner

Albert Johnson

Albert Johnson, from Ross-on-Wye Cider and Perry Company, has won CAMRA’s 2026 Pomona Award for championing the promotion of real cider and perry in the UK.

Albert, whose father won the Pomona Award in 2009, grows a phenomenal collection of around 120 different apple varieties and 30 different pear varieties. This means that he has introduced the largest range of single variety ciders and perries in the UK, if not the world.

A highly respected figure in the cider and perry industry, Albert is taking the traditional drink to a higher level of quality, authenticity and provenance while inspiring future generations of orchardists, cidermakers and perrymakers.
