CAMRA has supported the interests of cider and perry producers since the early years of the campaign. Since 1995 there has been an Apple and Pear Liaison Executive (APPLE- aka. Always Paralytically Pissed Late in the Evening). These now rare drinks are realistically only available outside their native areas at a handful of pubs, mostly CAMRA friendly pubs and of course Beer and Cider Festivals.
We still have only a few pubs in the Richmond and Hounslow Branch area that always has at least one cider and/or perry available. Our mainstay is the The Magpie & Crown, in Brentford High Street.
Below is a list of the most common ciders that CAMRA does not recognise as being real:
(this list is not necessarily complete).

Please note that the role of the branch Cider and Perry Representative is currently vacant. If you are interested in helping the branch in this role please contact us.
