Real cider is a long-established traditional drink which is produced naturally from apples.
Perry is similar but made from pears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAMRA defines real Cider or Perry as being fermented from the whole juice of fresh pressed apples or pears, without the use of concentrated or chaptalised juices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is well worth you tracking down some real ciders and perries: More and more people are discovering for themselves how deliciously mellow, aromatic and intoxicating the flavours of naturally produced real cider can be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You should be able to find real cider and perry in the following local outlets:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For as far back as records go, man has been enjoying alcoholic apple juice, probably one of the most simple, cleanest and natural alcoholic drinks in the world. It is easy to see how it was discovered as windfalls ferment of their own accord. The first record of cider in England was in the 13th<\/sup> century.  You can make alcohol out of any organic material; all it needs is a sugar and yeast and an average-sized apple is full of fructose (about 13 grams) and spores of wild yeast are everywhere.<\/p>(Read Roy Denney’s full Cider story, “In Praise of the Humble Apple”,<\/em> in the Autumn 2022 issue of the Leicestershire Drinker<\/a><\/strong>)<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
