CAMRA supports and campaigns for cider and perry throughout the year, and we spotlight it with a month-long celebration in July.
Real cider and perry are generally seasonal products that can only be made when fruit is ripe. This means production of these drinks are tied to a natural cycle of the apple and perry pear trees found in orchards around the UK.
But the celebration of these fantastic drinks is an all-year-round event, often enjoyed best when the sun is shining, picnic baskets are being prepared, and locals are serving the finest real cider and perry during their busy summertime peak.
Independent cider and perry makers produce some of the best quality drinks in the UK. We hope consumers can help us champion producers by ordering a pint of #NotFromConcentrate real cider or perry at their local this July!
