First and Foremost I would like to thank all the customers who visited the 40th Liverpool Beer Festival in The Crypt, and those of you who visited
The Cider and Perry Bar, it was so nice to see you all enjoying yourselves.
The Cider/ Perry of the festival was Rosie's Perfect, a Perry Pear
Liverpool is a fabulous City, it's a great place for a night out, lots of great Pubs,and places to Party, I love it. The Cider and Perry fans amongst us, especially CAMRA members, know exactly where Real Cider and Perry is on offer, and even better if we are using our vouchers.
The Augustus John, on the university Campus, is a great Cider and Perry Haven along with The Pen Factory, Sanctuary Bar, to name but a few. Most Weatherspoons sell Real Cider and Perry, I found Black Dragon in Blacklers, one of my favourites, but we know the technique, when we enter the weatherspoons. I automatically look down behind the bar to see what delights are their for me, they are also listed in the drinks menus which is a lot easier, would not have it any other way, it's all there for us, great Beers, Cider, Perry and Food.
To raise awareness of cider and perry production, CAMRA runs two awareness months each year for cider and perry. These are in October and May, during which time local branches organise cider and perry events across the country. May was chosen because it is when the orchards bloom and begin producing fruit which will then be harvested. It is also when cider and perry production in the previous year reaches maturity and can start being enjoyed.
We are planning to have a cider event in May, details will be published on our Social Media channels, branch mail out and ‘what’s brewing’. You can also contact me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
See you soon, hopefully on a city crawl, May and October are Cider Months
