Barr Irn Bru Reviews

In Scotland Irn Bru outsells coca cola, but in England you can hardly get it. In Scotland they sell it in 45p can's and 90p bottles (750ml) which get you 30p back when you return them, you'll often see folk carrying 5 or 6 bottles back to the shop, usually in exchange to buy more Irn bru- it's a good system.

This drink is a predominently scottish, sold throughout scotland and Northern England, in smaller bottles and cans, however the bigger bottles are available further south in larger supermarkets also. The drink was formerly produced in the Parkhead area of Glasgow, but then moved out to the area of Cumbernauld in Lanarkshire, where it ...  Read the complete review

Two things have always puzzled me about Irn Bru - firstly why it is not more widely popular outside of Scotland and second; what on earth is that taste? It tastes neither of orange as it's colour would suggest, nor iron, as the name would suggest. It is instead a totally unique drink and surprisingly addictive. I mean that in a non drug ...  Read the complete review

Officially the bestselling soft drink in Scotland, outselling even market titans like Coke-Cola, Irn-Bru is a strange one. Between its bright orange colour and unusual flavor, many people unfamiliar with it tend to view Irn-Bru with something akin to suspicion. However, as a big fan of the drink, I can assure you that Irn-Bru has a sharp ...  Read the complete review

Irn Bru is a drink which is made in Scotland, although may not be soon from what I heard on the news recently. The first thing you will notice about this fizzy drink is its distinct orange or 'ginger' colour. I can only assume Irn Bru played on the stereotype that all Scottish people have ginger hair, who knows. However, it's the kind of ...  Read the complete review

Irn Bru is the orange coloured fizzy drink that outsells coke in Scotland. The current advertising campaigns are very tongue in cheek but "Scotland's other national drink" was the main strap line of my youth and I have been a keen partaker of this fizzy juice since then. There are a few myths I wish to clear up ...  Read the complete review

IRN BRU is by far my favourite drink which is a double edged sword because obviously it tastes fantastic and that's why I like it but on the other hand it's a fizzy drink and obviously not doing wonders for your teeth if drank regularly. The design as far as I'm aware has stayed the same or only changed extremely slightly for as ...  Read the complete review

Barr's Irn Bru has to be just as well known around the world as the other scottish tipple - whiskey. I remember as a very young child not liking the feeling of fizzy juice but as time went by so did my dislike of the fizz. Today I will admit I am an 'addict' who can not say no to the unusual flavour which as the packaging states ...  Read the complete review

Oh my goodness Irn Bru takes me back to my childhood, spending the whole of the 6 weeks school summer holidays in Scotland with my Scottish relatives and drinking Irn Bru the whole summer long. I'm surprised I didn't turn orange with the amount I used to drink as a kid! I've loved Irn Bru ever since those childhood summers ...  Read the complete review

Recently, i've started buying mini bottles of irn brus from poundland. The ones I have started getting are the 250ml and are 3 for £1 at a range of poundshops. I seem to only find these bottles at the pound shops and have not seen them in the supermarket. I find them to be a great size to carry around in my bag if needed. Irn ...  Read the complete review

I have always had a thing for Irn Bru. I remember it as a child about 20 years ago, drinking it at school disco's as a treat. I were told that drinking it would put hairs on my chest! My Dad used to quote the advert to me, saying Irn Bru is made from girders. The bright orange colour was one of the attractions for me. Drinking a bright ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday on a trip to my local shops for a few bits I asked my husband if there was anything in particular he wanted getting. After a few seconds of in depth though he said 'yes, irn bru'. So I thought I would look in our Iceland store as they often have offers on fizzy drinks and spotted cans of irn bru on offer which worked out more ...  Read the complete review

Irn Bru is a fizzy drink made by Barrs in Glasgow, Scotland. It is the number one drink in Scotland and is bigger than Coca Cola and Pepsi, particularly in its home city. And it certainly is popular south of the border too. Although, if you had to describe the taste of the product to someone, you'd struggle to pin it down (which might ...  Read the complete review

Introduction~~~~~~ To be honest I'm not a big fan of fizzy drinks but Irn Bru is one of my down falls, so every once and while I give into temptation and buy a bottle (only a small one though). Depending on where you buy it from a 500ml bottle can range from 69p-£1.25 but it also comes in cans, wee 250ml bottles and 1 litre ...  Read the complete review

I'm not Scottish nor live in Scotland (I have only been to Edinburgh once) but I think invention of Irn Bru is something they should be proud of. I'm certainly thankful for Irn Bru. When I first saw it, I thought the colour of the drink looks really strange. When I first tasted it, I fell in love with the taste. My whole family (well ...  Read the complete review

After walking the Hadrians wall national trail we picked my car up only to find the windscreen had been covered in bird droppings. My water bottle had run out so we were in a query as to what to do next. My fellow walker decided the best bet was to pour his half bottle of Iron-Bru over the screen to help the windscreen wipers take ...  Read the complete review

An altogether Scottish drink, Irn Bru has a long history of contention. Rather like Marmite it has a very peculiar flavour which seems to divide the public. I know many people who love the artificially orange coloured bevvy but I myself cannot be considered a fan. Anyone who remembers in their childhood, munching on the ultra ...  Read the complete review

Well being from Scotland, it's hard to escape Irn Bru and for me it is the only soft drink that can rival Coca-Cola. It would appear that this is not an opinion shared only by myself, I have heard that Scotland is the only country where Coca-Cola is out sold by another soft drink. As a proud Scotsman, I have long been drinking Irn Bru ...  Read the complete review
