Islington Tribune - by PETER GRUNER

Wenlock is named top cider pub of the year

THE Wenlock Arms has beaten off competition to be awarded CAMRA’s London Cider Pub of the Year .
Ian White, CAMRA’s London Cider and Perry Coordinator, said the pub has a continual commitment to cider.
He added: “Cider has been making a real comeback of late but the real stuff is still difficult to find. Most pubs only sell keg cider. The Wenlock has stocked real cider for over a decade and this award is given in reflection of this.”
The pub, in Wenlock Street, Angel, also runs an annual beer and cider festival in conjunction with the local North London Branch of CAMRA during a cider and perry month in October. This gives locals a chance to taste something different and see why CAMRA is making such a fuss about the real stuff.
CAMRA has been campaigning for real cider and perry since 1977. The campaign led by a group called APPLE (Apple and Pear Liaison Executive).
The Wenlock Arms is a traditional corner pub, which takes its name from the defunct Wenlock Brewery that was once nearby. It’s also famous for its doorstop sandwiches that help soak up its cider and its extensive range of real ales.
