Perry or pear cider is an alcoholic drink that is made from pear juice . CAMRA defines perry and pear cider as quite different drinks , stating that `` pear cider '' as made by the large industrial cidermakers is merely a pear-flavoured drink , or more specifically a cider-style drink flavored with pear concentrate , whereas `` perry '' should be made by traditional methods from perry pears only . ( It should be noted that Brothers , Bulmers and other pear ciders are made from pear concentrate , often imported . )
