Wolverhampton CAMRA Beerwolf Winter 2018 / 19

Cider City
If you’re looking for cider or perry in our branch area, you don’t need
to look far. Wolverhampton and the area of South Staffordshire we
cover is blessed with a large amount of landlords stocking both, with
an impressive selection travelling from the south of the country.
On a local level, we have a couple of
cider producers within branch. The most
well known, Hurst View, is based at
Wheaton Aston, South Staffordshire.
We also have a small producer within
the city, Oxley Orchards. Cider from
Oxley Orchards has been available recently
at Keg & Comfort and previously
at Hail to the Ale and Slater’s.
Hurst View can be found at Hail to the Ale, Keg
& Comfort and The Harrows on a regular basis.
It’s also regularly available just over the border
(5 minutes from Codsall by train) at the
Platform Ale House in Albrighton. Hurst View
also produces a perry and a cider perry blend
known as a ‘pyder’.
Oxley Orchard’s Ooh Missus
and Organic
Aside from local cider and perry, a large selection
of Lilley’s can be found at Hogshead and
the Royal London in Wolverhampton City Centre
and The Harrows at Coven is a veritable oasis
for lovers of the drink, where cider and perry
from Celtic Marches, Thistly Cross and
Gwynt y Ddraig regularly rub shoulders.
