Campaign for Real Ale

Cider & Perry

Cider is a drink that has been made in England for centuries, simply the juice of apples fermented. Nothing else, just traditionally made . CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, campaigns to preserve this traditional drink.

Although the number of pubs serving 'real' cider is increasing in London, it is still not that prevalent and most of the cider served is not 'real'. Cider will usually be on a handpump or served from a tub, not from a font on the bar Do go and try a drink that is steeped in rural heritage and if you would like to find out more about real cider visit: http://www.camra.org.uk/page.php?id=18. You can also find a list of pubs selling cider at: http://www.camra.org.uk/page.php?id=61.

In late September, CAMRA is running some pub crawls around some London cider pubs. See: http://www.londoncityofbeer.org.uk/viewnode.php?id=5428
