2019 Newcastle Beer and Cider Festival Programme

43rd Newcastle Beer & Cider Festival
CIDER / PERRY CHOICES
real cider
& perry
Welcome to this
year’s festival from
the cider team.
We’re also introducing a 7-point
dryness/sweetness scoring system
to try and make your cider and perry
selection easier.
The cider team has scored all the
ciders and perrys, and aligned them
with the scale below:
There are quite a few changes
at this year’s festival, from the bar
lay-out and the cooling of stock, to a
dryness scoring system.
This year, in keeping with the
festival theme, we also have a much
wider variety of types - around 50
ciders and perrys, so we should have
“something for everyone”.
If you are unsure which ciders or
perrys you might like, please, just ask
the bar staff. We’ll be happy to help
you to find one that suits you.
Alongside traditional cider and
perry we also have a pyder which is an
apple and pear blend.
If there are any Ciders or Perrys you
would like to see at next years festival
please let us know.
As the venue tends to get a tad
warm we’ve introduced some new
technology this year. All the cider and
perry is going to be cooled. Not chilled,
just cooled to keep it in premium
condition, and perfect for drinking.
1 - Very Dry
2 - Dry
3 - Medium Dry
4 - Medium
5 - Medium Sweet
6 - Sweet
7 - Very Sweet
If you’d like to learn more about
ciders and perrys, we’re offering an
“introduction to cider” workshop right
here at the festival. It will take place
at 5pm on Thursday 11th April 2019,
and will take you through the different
types and styles of ciders and perrys.
Thank you to all who have helped
and supported the cider bar and the
festival this year.
