Where in the south west are you mate? my grandads family were all cornish, so i think thats where my cider drinking comes from.

can you actually just go to the brewery and buy it direct?

I am in one of 3 southwest locations: in North Somerset with some family and where I grew up, Lanner (Cornwall) with the other family home, or at Plymouth where I am just finishing University.

So SouthWest through and through :) and I'm sorry to dissapoint you but I don't think cider drinking is inherited down through the bloodline :p


Yes, you can just turn up at most cider breweries and get them to fill up whatever containers you have on you, whether it barrel, jug, hipflask or wellington boots! :p
 
it varies the sainsburys local near me normally charges ridiculous prices for alcohol but have some special offers now and then, i like the 660ml stella for £1.35 but its usally 8 for 6 quid on fosters or kronenburg.

It was a serious comment. Woodpecker, Strongbow, Blackthorne etc are not proper cider. They are commercialised alcoholic apple flavored drinks that get you drunk, I should know, I drink enough of them (im a student, there cheap). Proper Cider isnt bought in cans in 8 packs, its bought in bottles or jars or welington boots (:)) and shouldnt be transparent or very fizzy.

Back to the OP, I dont see many 8 packs of (fake) cider really, all the supermarkets have moved to the 18 can packs for stupid cheap. 8 packs of most things are quite rare now, its normally a 4 pack or boxes that contain 12 or more. In my first year at uni I did make good use of the 8 cans for £5 offer on XXXX at my local offy, but now there normally atleast £5.50-£6 if you can find them.

Strongbow and scrumpy were my tipple at uni. Everyone else on their 4% lagers were either rich or just lightweights :p

But still nowadays finding a bar with good cider is crap, as most only have silly magners in a bottle at the great price of about £4-5 :rolleyes: Much prefer a nice cloudy cider.
 
2 Litre bottle of half decent cider at my local offy - £2.19
8 cans of kronies - £7

I get them at my local One Stop but 50 metres away they are just about finished knocking together a Spar so looking forward to a wider range of fizzy man pop :D
