Other Bulmer's brands are: Scrumpy Jack, Strongbow and Woodpecker. It's not real cider though.

I think Bulmer's is called Magner's in the States, no? It was, anyway

Bulmers owns lots of brands but the actual 'Bulmers' you get in Ireland is pretty nice compared to Strongbow, Woodpecker and all that yuck.

It's called Magners over in the UK too.

Ah right - it appears from that SBP story I linked to that Bulmers Ltd is not connected with the HP Bulmer that owns all Strongbow et al.

You might be able to find it at The Irish Store on Vine in Hollywood. They have food/groceries/etc etc from the UK

after extensive research i can confirm Ronan is correct

Bulmer's is the job on a hot day though. But it's rough on the stomach the morning after so I don't drink it as much as I used to.

How is this a bad thing?

Ronan's bathroom is in a different room from his toilet.

stowford press is the best cider. num num num. only ever had it once though, and that was in an obscure lincolnshire cider pub.

Tsk. I am going outside to have some more *organic* Bulmers in the sun.

this is preferable to having your orchard smelling like a bathroom.

Platinum Blonde and Addlestone's are the best ciders.

I'm really into Thatcher's Haze cloudy Somerset Cider right now, it's that sweet it's probably almost technically an alcopop!

This is why I largely avoid cider these days.. to much residual sugar.
Trader Joe's sells a nice French/Norman pear cider (perry) that I do buy once in awhile...
