Amber Valley Cider Pub of the Year 2027
Nominations and Judges Required
We need your help to compile a list of 4 pubs to go forward to our Cider Pub of the Year Competition. You have from Saturday 7th November to Saturday 19th December 2026 to nominate 1 TO 3 pubs for Cider Pub of the Year. Pubs nominated for Cider Pub of the Year must serve at least one Real Cider or Perry on a regular basis.
Please email your nominations to the Chairman along with your name and CAMRA membership number. You need to be a member of Amber Valley CAMRA to nominate.
On Sunday 20th December the nominations will be counted and the 4 pubs with the most nominations for Cider Pub of the Year will go forward to be judged by volunteer CAMRA members from Monday 21st December through to Saturday 13th February 2027.
We would like to have as many judges as possible for the competition and, although they need to be members of CAMRA, they don’t have to be Amber Valley Branch members. If you would be interested or know someone else who would, please contact me for more information. You only have to commit to visiting each of the 4 Cider Pub of the Year entrants once during the judging period and sending in your scoresheet(s) by email or post.
Forms listing the nominated pubs and the various categories to be judged, together with explanatory notes from CAMRA, will be sent to any member who volunteers to take part in the judging of either competition.
We thank you in anticipation for your input towards helping us to choose worthy winners for this prestigious Branch award. The results of the competitions will be announced shortly after completion of judging. The winner of Cider Pub of the Year will be presented with a certificate, and the winner will go forward to next rounds of the Cider Pub of the Year competition, starting in March 2027.
