OCTOBER IS CIDER & PERRY MONTH |
|
UP THE APPLES AND PEARS IN OCTOBERThis October is designated Cider and Perry month by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and the consumer organisation is striving to ensure more people will have the opportunity to try these deliciously fruity drinks. CAMRA hopes that as the overall popularity of cider and perry increases we will see increased examples of the traditional styles in pubs across the UK. Owen Morris, CAMRA Press Officer and member of the Cider and Perry campaigning committee said: “Preconceptions of cider and the people who drink it have been shattered. It is now regarded as a ‘drink to be seen with’. CAMRA believes people are ready to be seen drinking the real thing and show that cider and perry are not the only things with great taste.” “Once drinkers enjoy a real cider or perry – where the fruit has simply been pressed and allowed to ferment without any need for additives – then we are certain the cider renaissance will continue. Why not ask in your local if they are planning to stock a real cider and perry in October?” |
Real cider is a long-established traditional drink which is produced naturally from apples and is neither carbonated nor pasteurised. As cider is made from apples, perry is made from perry pears, which tend to be smaller and harder then dessert pears. Look on www.camra.org.uk/cidermonthto find cider events put on by local branches in your area. Real cider and perry are stocked at many of the CAMRA beer festival going on throughout the country. Check www.camra.org.uk for more details. The St Ives beer and cider festival in September (13th-15th) will feature about a dozen very distinctive high quality ciders and perrys sourced from a variety of areas including South Wales, Herefordshire and the West Country. Locally, Apple Day can be celebrated on Sunday 14th of October by going to the Bromham Apple Festival, Bromham Mill (at western end of Bromham Bridge). Open 11-4.30 pm. |
