Why is there this crazy idea to put Ice in a pint glass and poor tramps piss all over it.
By the way just so you know Magners used to be Bulmers - Cracking name change eh !

Want to hear a cruel irony? The apples they use in Magners are actually very good, and make an excellent cider. Sharp, not too sweet, good colour, and just enough bite. That is, of course, until the cider gets pasteurized, sweetened and carbonated at the factory...
Moral: avoid mass-produced ciders!!

yes it is, firstly its known as bulmers in Ireland, where it is brewed. magners however in the same way Guinness tastes differently because it is brewed in the UK.
Magners compared to Bulmers is not that good and as compared to other ciders, well you know the story

It's a triumph of marketing over reality.

There are far better English Ciders around at a cheaper price.

I did hear somewhere that despite the fact it's supposed to be an Irish drink that they source some of their apples from the Westcountry... kind of screws up the whole point of it being Irish!
Buy your cider from Somerset... Don't be fooled by all of the flashy adverts!

definite its a actuality. interior the cider residences they constantly had bread and cheese on the table which you will consume, that grew to become into to feed the cider. This grew to become into how they partly slowed it down from burning or eating your abdomen lining away. The above isn't perfect zider.

It's ok, but it seems as if they're trying to re-launch cider as a young person's drink.
