    The Yard House pours Wyder's on draft.

    Pear, raspberry (yum) and apple.

    Great with the chicken nachos.

      Trader Joes. For Har Pear Cider try Bev-Mo.

            Lots of good suggestions already, to which I would add Galco's in Highland Park.

              be careful, Galco's beer and wine prices are way high. Pear cider isn't hard to find or unusual. Bevmo will have better prices, for sure.

                Yes, price is not Galco's strong suit. Still, I love shopping there.

              Hard Pear Cider you can find at Trader Joe's ("Ace" pear cider), or in individual bottles at Cost Plus or BevMo (Wyders and also Woodchuck). I've never seen it at Whole Foods.

                Do you men hard cider, also known as Perry? Or just pear juice?

                For hard cider, look for Wyders, on tap at places lie Naja's, BJ's, Lucky Baldwin's, McG's, Village Idiot, Robin Hood, maybe Ye Olde King's Head.

                Wyders is from Canada. Brother's is another brand from Britain. Doc's makes a sparkling pear cider. Woodchusk also makes pear cider.

                The California Cider COmpany makes a nice one you can sometimes find-it's known as Ace apple, or pear cider. Look in the places mentioned above, or the liquor stores listed below.

                If you want bottles to take home, try Beverages and More or Vendome.

                Remember to also look for "perry"

                  While you're at it, be sure to throw in a dash of Poire William.

                    You should be able to find it at Bevmo and Whole Foods.

                      I had a bottled one that was quite nice at the Village Idiot a couple of months ago.
