Scottish & Newcastle own the brand name "Bulmers" in England, so when Bulmers Ireland wanted to launch their Cider here they had to choose another name...

Is it?
In the USA Bulmers is identified as English cider; Magners as an Irish cider. Different products, different packages. I think I read something about Budweiser being an investor in Magners, too.

Magners is the american brand name for bulmers. Its common practise within the Industry to take more market share by distributing products across brandnames.

It's a rebrand to make more money and to make people think that the Irish invented cider. It's bullcrap, and it's not even very good cider.
