I fell in love with Perry a couple of years ago - the sparkling ones are particularly worth looking out for as an inexpensive alternative to English sparkling wine. Butford’s Aurora Premier Crus if they’re still making it is great. Big fan of Tom Oliver’s and Little Pomona’s too. Must read the book - thanks for the tip-off
Fiona – I’d love to tell you a bit about the book and get a copy along to you if you’d be interested? Let me know! ad_wells@live.co.uk or adamhwells on instagram. Cheers – really enjoyed reading your cider and perry pieces in the past and chatting at last year’s Bristol Cider Salon
I remember that! Don't think you'd even started writing it at that stage so that was an impressive turnaround! Congrats on the shortlisting! Will be in touch ...
Once spent an interesting autumn in Hereford where some of the farmhouse ciders and perries in the local pubs would make the lame walk and the blind see, or possibly the other way around. Anyway, please do share your Normandy findings, I’m off there at the end of the summer and intend to do some calvados, cider and perry drinking.
Admittedly, I don't know it from university studies but because it was on the side of a vegetable delivery truck that would often be on my street in San Francisco. Somehow I feel this admition shows off more however.
Harry Enfield and Chums liked Perri a derivative of a much maligned drink even if she was a bit rebellious. Buy it, then freeze and pour over ice cream. Remove capsule first!
My dad bought me a four pack of Babycham for Christmas every year starting from when I was seven. Big Fan. I've had it maybe every five or ten years since.
I hadn't had it for years but I was in the beer garden of my local pub in Bristol a couple of weeks ago and there was a bunch of about 12 students drinking pints of sparkling something in pint glasses. Perry! I had to give it a go and, My God! It was delicious. I might never drink beer or wine again!
(I forgot to write down the brand. I should do that)

It's a great read.
Around the age I started drinking. I've also had some that a local bloke made for a beer festival which was really nice, but something like 9%.

Didn't Izzard just "borrow" that bit from Ralph Waldo Emerson?
Now you're just showing off.

Big fan of both Burrow Hill's positively ethereal sparkling perry and Gwatkin's rather more rustic (but fiercely moreish) Farmhouse Perry.
I like Burrow Hill cider though never tried the perry. Must remedy that.

I imagine Bristol pubs are some of the few where you can find a nice drop of perry.
