Real cider is in a similar situation to that which faced real ale some 25 years ago as the number of outlets for real cider is diminishing, even in the West Country. The situation with perry is even worse, as it is rarely available away from the farm gate.
Cider - Real Cider, as opposed to the keg fizz that is usually found at the bar is made entirely from non-pasteurized apple juice (perry is made from pears) - no concentrates are used. In addition, no flavouring or artificial colourings are added.

At Newark Beer Festival the Cider Bar is frequently drunk dry by enthusiastic punters. 2008 sees more cider and perry available so stocks should last longer and those who enjoy the varied flavours created from apples and pears should be happier than ever!

The Cider bar will be staffed by volunteers from Apple, the group within The Campaign For Real Ale that promotes traditional ciders and perries. Like the beers at the event, everything sold at the Cider Bar is free from added gasses and crafted to produce exceptional flavours.
Remember! Ciders and perries can be quite strong, so please drink them sensibly.
As
well as a great choice of cask-conditioned beers, we have an excellent
selection of real
Ciders and Perries.
