'Zackly. "Pear cider" is a nasty new marketing term, to help 'em sell it to the young people of today, who don't understand what perry is. Or ought to be. (A lot of "pear cider" is made with commercial pear juice, rather than proper perry pears.) And the trouble, of course, is that it works: sales have skyrocketed, these last couple of years.

On the other hand, I was at the Cambridge beer festival last week, and I've never seen so many real perries in one place. It ain't all bad news, I guess. Grudgingly.
