Cider Pub of the Year – The Rising Sun, Berkhamsted

It is our pleasure to announce that the Mid-Chilterns CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year for 2024 is The Rising Sun, Berkhamsted.

“The Rising Sun is known locally as a bastion of inclusivity, an ethos that quite literally trickles down to the pub’s incredible drinks selection. A back bar of exotic spirits and liquors accompanies an award-winning range of cask ales and keg beers. And then there’s the ciders.

We’re confident that The Rising Sun could be in the top ten cider pubs across the UK. A cellar of close to twenty changing ciders offer the drinker a choice of traditional styles, fruit flavoured tipples, modern fancies and rare perrys to boot.

Hertfordshire is far away from the cider territories of Somerset, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire, yet The Rising Sun brings their star ciders to our very grateful doorstep.

When paired with a freshly renovated beergarden and gorgeous canalside exterior, the pub’s cider and perry offering make ‘The Riser’ an absolute staple of summertime imbibing (recommended in all seasons, in fact!).”

Congratulations to Mark, Nigel and the rest of the team at The Rising Sun, your Cider Pub of the Year for 2024.

CHEERS TO THE RISING SUN
