I rarely drink, but love an ice cold glass of cider on a hot summers day.

I was in Iceland for my square sausage yesterday, and looking round saw glass bottles of Kingstone Press Cider. At £1 a bottle I thought I'd give it a go. I really like this! And it says it's dry cider - I hate dry and have always gone for sweet ciders.

But I'm hooked on this one now.

Stowford Press - Only ever seen it in morrisons, £5 or £6 for 4 x 660ml I think

Real smooth, dry.

Aspall's Dry Suffolk cider (and they do an Organic too). Available at all the usual supermarkets.

LCDMAN

Year ago drunk woodpecker cider ice cold. Can you still get it? Dont see it here.

Ooh a cider thread! I love it. Scrumpy Jack's my favourite and I get four 500ml cans for £3 in the local off-licence.

Just having 4 x 500ml bottles of Gaymers Pear Cider at the mo. Not bad at all. Only 4.5% vol. though. I think cider tastes best at around 7% vol personally.

This reminds me of Magners in that it has a rather weak and watery taste. I normally buy Westons Medium Vintage or Scrumpy.

Magners is bland as hell!

Westons Oak Conditioned medium-dry is superb but the only place I know that sells it is Wetherspoons. Other than that your only option is a case of 12 from the Westons website, at a very reasonable £18. Stowford Press is also a good one, again a Westons cider and available on draught in a select few pubs or bottled from most supermarkets. Wychwood Green Goblin gets a mention, too.

I also like the odd drop of Brothers strawberry, Koppaberg pear/fruits of the forest, and St. Helier pear.

Woodpecker, Magners / bullmers, Scrumpy Jack, Strongbow, Super Diamond White ( Think that what it is called is was something like 8% )

Jacques Orchard Fruit Cider is nice.

I also like Strongbow, Scrumpy Jack, and Bulmers Pear Cider.

Ooh I forgot to mention, Morrisons "The Best" cider is also very nice, pretty strong at 7 point something percent and it comes in 660ml bottles. Top it all off with the fact it's usually in the 4 for £5 offer and you have yourself a very attractive proposition

I picked up 3 bottles of the Jacque Blackcurrant/Cider a few weeks ago and its bloody lovely stuff.

Asda have 500ml bottles of Weston's Vintage cider for £1 at the moment.

Gorgeous stuff. 8.2% vol.

I haven't tried that one yet, but will do soon.

A pint or two of Stowford at my local,once or twice a week.

Bought some Scrumpy Jack the other day and found it surprisingly pleasant.

The local Costcutter sells a lot of the pear ciders (Kopparberg, St Helier, Maguire's etc) and my favourite is a Finnish one called Upcider. Kopparberg is a bit too "cute" tasting, somehow it doesn't taste like a real drink, but it's nice in moderation.

Thatchers without a doubt, but it's hard to come by here otherwise very cold Strongbow

But isn't Pear Cider actually Perry?

I blummin adore cider (living in Suffolk its Aspalls around here). But alas ... cider hates me.

I had 1/2 pint in the pub about 2yrs ago, and almost immediately a headache started brewing. I was then struck down with the worst hangover I have ever had in my life.

I daren't drink it now. And I adore the taste. I used to drink Scrumpy with my parents when we went to Cornwall in the good old days.

Another vote for Kopparberg Pear and Ikea is selling it nice and cheap here in Belfast.

i love stowford press too, didnt know they sold it a morrisons! *gets shoes on and car keys*

Thatchers and Old Rosie and Weston's Vintage. I makes my own as well

Check out the Morrisons "The Best" oak aged cider while you're there! (although I suspect this message is a bit too late)

PS I am in no way connected with the aforementioned supermarket chain

Perry! The word is perry! A fermented alcoholic drink made from pears is called perry. Cider is made from apples. Nobody would refer to cognac as "grape whisky", would they?

Best cider I have had for years is Wychwood Green Goblin Oak Aged English Cider. Available from Tesco and I think Asda. Try it you won't be dissapointed.
