Yep, although I think it's less of a binary yes/no than with real ale.

CAMRA has a lengthy definition at
http://www.camra.org.uk/page.aspx?o=aboutciderandperry , though it's worth
noting that cider-drinkers generally don't regard CAMRA with the same
reverence that real ale drinkers might (some CAMRA branches and activists
have a history of being actively hostile to cider, though many have done
good work).

It's perhaps easiest to say what _isn't_ real cider, and the list at
http://www.camra.org.uk/page.aspx?o=nonrealcider is a good start. But even
then, Addlestones, Stowford Press, Thatchers Gold, and Aspalls are a whole
heap more real than Strongbow, Magners and Krapparberg.

[obOSM: the official OSM lolcat is called Stowford.]
