Unlike real ale production, which can happen at any time of the year, real cider and perry can only be made when the fruit is ripe and is tied to a natural cycle of the apple and pear trees found in orchards around the country.

CAMRA celebrates Cider and Perry Month every July. During this time, we spotlight our cider and perry campaigning aims, hold events, publish new content across our website, social media and digital publications, and celebrate all things cider and perry.

Cider and Perry Month is also a great time to encourage people to become CAMRA members, as there is always new content available exclusively for members on the CAMRA Learn & Discover platform.

Finally, it’s a time to encourage consumers to get out and support their local producers – whether that’s taking an orchard tour, buying cider and perry from them directly, enjoying a pint in their local, or simply spreading the word on social media that real cider and perry is #NotFromConcentrate.
