As far as I know cider is pretty high in calories... a pint of beer is 200calories, cider has 300. That's just off the top of my head, you're best googling it!
I just read in the mirror today that Magners cider was so popular in the UK during the summer demand for the 6months was 250% up on the previous period.

No I want the answer now. I turned to cider to lose my beer belly!
Is there such thing as a cider belly?

If i remember cider has more calories than larger.
The best option is vodka and diet coke.

Although you can get Magners Light which has fewer calories.

here you go:

Magners: 210 Kcal / pint
Magners light: 130Kcal / pint

Magners doesnt have much taste at all IMO ... its decent, very smooth, but i much prefer blackthorn or proper scrumpy ;)

I dont mind beer, lager or cider...

I cant stand crap lager (ie Fosters, Carlsberg) ... worst stuff othe lot... actually white cider / cheap super strength lager is but meh :p

I like Magners. In Australia they had Mercury which was quite nice. They also had Strongbow which was pretty mucky. It had a fake, sour acidic taste (oh, i mean a crisp apple taste), and apparently was made with 10% peach juice. Or maybe pear juice... either way, it's nasty and best avoided!

Magners is good as a refresher on a sunny afternoon. But I do like a pint of proper scrumpy.

Agreed, Fosters, Carlserg, crap lager, but I really like Kronebourg. However, I just can't understand the attraction to Stella, it's vile.

its a lot gayer than carlsberg

If you're a real man you should be able to pull it off ;)

Besides, in the summer when it's hot, pint of magners with lots of oice is spot on!

I don't understand why the Cypriots love Carlsberg so much :/ They have much nicer lager there... such as Keo and Leon. Bah more for me! :cool:
