It wasn't this was it?

http://www.gwyntcider.com/home.html

I've seen a few people on here raving about their Ciders.
Thanks for the link (look good!) but no, I don't recognise it as being one of those. I think the brand name began with a 'W' but I'm not 100% certain.

Hey ho - I'll just have to go back and find out what it was.

Ha! Found it!

You know what really annoys me is how some people think it's only chavs who drink it.

I love my cider. Don't like Gaynors that much, like Strongbow. I can drink any cider really. Sometimes a bit of blackcurrent in it is nice as well, or even better a slash of lime. Tasty!

Strongbow and blackcurrant reminds me of my student days at local alternative nightpots. Ah, the memories.

I like Kopparberg pear and apple cider poured over lots of ice...nice and refreshing on a hot day. Tried some Magners pear cider last week for the first time-much nicer than the regular apple variety. I don't go out much these days but when I do I'll order one of these drinks as pub wines aren't great and vodka measures are too stingy.

The Westons 2009 vintage special reserve Cider is now available at Asda/Tesco/Morrisons etc. and it's very nice indeed. Much better than the 2008 imo. A bit sweeter and with the smokiness and smoothness of the 2007.

3 x 500ml bottles for £4 at Asda. 8.2% vol

Cheers.

Love Jaques Fruit cider. Not at all acidy like some cider and I know they sell it at Tescos.

Might give that a try. I don't mind Westons, but I think I still prefer Henney's but it all depends on how i'm feeling and how much or a flavour and alcohol punch I want.

Never had it at home and I don't think i've ever had it while sober

Usually buy it half way through the night when i'm fed up of lager. £4 for a bottle ain't too bad for a town center bar. You get two pints out of it.

They had Thatcher's Katy on special offer at Spar last week - 3 bottles for £4.50.

I bought 6. And drank 5. Well, Mr Saz was working nights. What else could I do?

Brothers brand ciders are nice, especially the strawberry.

Dragging my old topic back up again. Just had Taurus Pear Cider from Aldi - £2.79 for 4 500ML cans, it's one of the nicest pear ciders I have had

If you've got a decent sized Co-Op near you their Tillington Hills Cider is well worth checking out.

That's for the heads up. I think i'll give that a go. Looks like an excellent price.

A friend of mine absolutely loves this stuff (I've not tasted it yet, but apparently Morrisons sells it)

Seen the toffee apple one but it didn't appeal to me. However, that's a good link, fancy trying this is I can get it elsewhere..

My local moderate sized Asda is now stocking Thatchers Katy and Henney's Dry Ciders for the first time at 3 x 500ml bottles for £5.

Now they just need to stop stocking both Bulmers and Magners which are exactly the same and devote the shelf space to some Cornish Rattler and Gwynt y Ddraig's Black Dragon..

I tried it for a laugh - and ended up enjoying it. A little too cloyingly sweet but nice nontheless. Tastes just like toffee apples - which, lets face it is one of those classic flavour combinations.

As for a regular drink, my local cider producer, Cornish Orchards, makes a lovely cider. Looe Valley Cider comes in two strengths which happen to be medium and dry (the dry is stronger as more of the sugar has turned to alcohol).

That said Healeys Rattler ain't bad.

Addlestones cloudy, scrumpy jack or magners pear.

Also asda do a select of fruit ciders which are OK.

I just discovered my local Dobbie's garden centre sells Sheppy's Cider in it's produce section and this stuff is by far the best Cider I've ever tasted:

Sheppy's Tremlett's Bitter

£2.10 for a 500ml bottle.

Find your local Dobbie's here:

They seem to have taken their time. My local ASDA has had them in for a while.

I'd say Henney's are my favourite ciders at the moment.

I bought the Taurus last week and both are quite nice. The pear is ok, nothing special but the normal cider is suprisingly nice for what it is, being a can of cider. Better than most cans (woodpecker/strongbow) and many bottles i've tried.
