Changes

The apples used to make traditional cider differ from apples grown for eating and some are quite bitter in the raw form. Traditional cider apples include the Foxwhelp, Coxes, Throbert and Spatchcock varieties. These are mostly grown by small producers these days who make cider in small batches. It is worth noting that, unlike beer, cider is not brewed hence the use of producer rather than brewer.

If the drink is produced with pears rather than apples, it is known as perry. Perry is a lighter colour and is traditionally sparkling. Perry is far less common in modern times than cider and the number of perry producers is in decline. [[Wales]] still produces some excellent perrys with Gwatkins "Thorn Perry", PB Jones' "Flossie's Hole" and WM Watkins "Traditional Perry" being particularly well renowned.
