Magners is rank by the way - that Strongbow Cirrus stuff is rather delicious though.
I still prefer a nice smooth ale to 'new ciders'...But a proper pint of scrumpy beats all other ciders hands down; local brews for the win.

Each to their own. I wouldn't drink Magners exclusively, but I do like the taste and I do find it refreshing from time to time. And Magners isn't new at all it's been around for a long time but as a different name. However I agree locally brewed cider is much better - the French do fantastic ciders so obviously i'm quite keen on decent stuff.
The world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things.
And let us not bring sexuality into it, you're not half the man I am
The bar I work in (major chain) sells bottles of cider by a company called 'Gaymers Cider Company'. I believe they bought Blackthorn, so they manfacture both Blackthorn and Gaymers.
Anyways, what I was going to say is that I think Gaymers tastes much better than Magners does. Only problem is the old name of the drink. A lot of people will come into my bar and ask for a Magners, I then explain that we have Gaymers which tastes similar. They either try it and like it, or just out right refuse because the name of the drink has 'Gay' in it.

3%, now you're using some extremely dodgy maths... although the ads encourage you to fill the pint glass with ice cubes, most MEN will only add a few icecubes (to justify paying the extra amount for a pint bottle). Second, most men will have the bottle finished before the icecubes have had a chance to melt. Finally, most men will be able to keep up with people drinking pints of any other beer without ice cubes...The $6m Dan said:
EDIT: I sound like an ad for bulmers... should really stop browsing their website. Anyway apparently Bulmers are releasing Bulmers Iced, a pint of draught Bulmers served at 2 degrees with a head of crushed iced cider... sounds gimmicky!
to people worrying about the calorie content... try bulmers/magners light which has only 86 calories per 330ml bottle (equiv to 130 a pint, although I haven't seen it sold in pint bottles). I suspect it's aimed at women worried about their waistline!

Quoting myself, I must be going nuts...tenchi-fan said:
I'm just after reading the bottom of the FAQ and (lo and behold!) Bulmers just about brew every cider on the market:
* Bulmers Original Cider
* Linden Village Cider
* Strongbow Cider
* Samsons Cider
* Ritz Crisp Dry Perry
Interesting!
Has any one noticed the new Baileys in a blender with ice ads? People watching them always comment "ohh that's looks nice". I wonder will Baileys also benefit from the wonders of Ice.
