Judging the entriesCider and Perry Trials

The annual Cider and Perry Trials held at Putley Village Hall have become an important fixture in the calendars of craft cider and perry producers in our region.

This is a peer-judged event with all the judging carried out by the entrants in a series of blind tastings.

There are categories for both draught and bottled ciders and perries and the public is invited to taste the entries over the two days following the trials.

In 2008 the trials took place on Saturday, 3rd May. We had about 160 entries from 57 entrants, 50% more than last year. Details of winners and pictures are on the 2008 page.

For pictures and winners of last year's event go to 2007.
