between Magners and Bulmers. I think they basically taste the same and both are a lot better than strongbow etc. However they are not a patch on Henry Westons vintage cider.

Just wondering if anyone can tell the difference between the two, the smoking must have distroyed my taste buds.

If you want good cider get Green Goblin, I have a permanent stock of it in the fridge, it's absolutely lush.

Beats the hell out of all of those that you've mentioned.

FACT!

is that from the wychwood brewery in witney oxfordshire, who make hobgoblin, my girlfriend lives about 10mins from that place and there is a great pub i go to in abingdon that have loads of their guest beers

i had a couple of bottles of Bulmers the other night and thought it was much nicer than Magners

i have just answered my own question, were can you get it?

Modern cider = vicar's piss.
Wychood = taste

Have to say wychwood new beers and guest ales are going down the pan, the old ones were brilliant but was having a chat to the bloke in the pub i mentioned and he said he is stopping them all apart from golaith / bewyched / hobgoblin / wychcraft as a big brewery taken over wychwood cant remember which think he mentioned marstons. I have to say though bewyched is well nice so is fiddlers elbow.

Cider is for poofs. FACT!

Sorry to contradict you but they are actually exactly the same apart from their packaging! some marketing requirement means they market it under 2 names.

ah well i thought it had much more taste, was probably less ice in it than normal

isnt strongbow made by bulmers as well

Oh, er, god knows, maybe im getting confused. Anyway cider is for poofs, who cares.

Jaga bombs all the way for me, non of this cideer melarkey

jaga tastes like benyin

it's lush, i think i'm addicted

the best cider I have had was in a funny pub in Tawnton Somerset, went there with a mate from uni, they would only let you have three pints of the stuff (was all cloudy etc) I wondered why and after my third stood up and then realised I was a bit merry so sat down again and left the drinking for about two hours

Tesco and Morrisons sell it. Scruffy Asda doesn't.

If you want any from Hartlepool Tesco you'd better get there before me, I often clear the shelf.

We dont have asda down here unfortunatly and I think I would have to get up early to beat you to the Hartlepool Tesco with a 7hour round trip. Oh how much is it?

I think you should come to the hartlepool tesco compo and take all there stock just to annoy ripper and to teach him a lesson.

I'd cry.

It used to be about £1.50 a bottle but it's only about £1.20 now.

My aunt and uncle live in Corn Street, Witney - two mins walk away from Market Square and all the places where they sell the famous Witney blankets.

Is that a euphemism

Dont suppose by any chance the pub was the Double Locks was it? Next to a canal - duh - and a bit of a walk. Had exactly the same experience many years ago.

Magners brewed in Ireland
Bulmers Brewed in England

no difference, both same company

they had to change the 'recipe' ever so slightly so they didn't infringe copyright or some such bollocks, Bulmers still tastes better though

Wychwood beers are great, the likes of Circlemaster, Fiddlers Elbow, Wychcraft and Hobgoblin are all superb beers. Netto used to sell Circlemaster and Fiddlers Elbow for around £1.10 per bottle, i used to buy it by the box, I don't know if they still sell it though

Its probably because of you then that they dont sell it by the box anymore!!!!!!

Cider is for the Harry Ramps, crackheads & girls

i'm all three, yummy
