That Beer Place in Chester, Cheshire has been crowned National Cider & Perry Pub of the Year 2024

The newly crowned pub boasts of up to 140 real ciders and perries, promoting producers from the UK, Europe, America and beyond, along with around 350 beers. The popular and inclusive venue attracts thirsty visitors from far and wide and is well respected within the local community.

That Beer Place has become a hub for both beer and cider enthusiasts alike, with a real focus on showcasing a diverse range of ciders and perries. Judges were impressed with the select and interesting variety of draught ciders and perries, supplemented by a diverse and wide choice of bottles.  

Judges praised the extensive knowledge and enthusiasm for cider and perry shown by the pub’s team, and their deep commitment to educate the public about these wonderful drinks. That Beer Place regularly stages events with independent UK cider makers and industry experts, with future plans to launch a training programme named That Cider School to teach local restaurants and drinks buyers about the diversity and variety of cider. 
The pub hosts monthly Chester Cider Club evenings which aim to foster a community of cider lovers who are open to exploring new flavours and reject the chaptalised, diluted, industrial drinks that masquerade under the same name – something CAMRA wholeheartedly agrees with.
