Magners Irish Cider

Magners Irish Cider is a premium bottled cider available in the UK from off licences, supermarkets and pubs, but is also available on draught in some Scottish bars and most Irish. To clear up confusion, in the UK, Bulmers and Magners are two different drinks from two different companies. In Ireland, Magners is called Bulmers. It only has a different name in the UK so that they can avoid the confusion of having two bottled ciders called Bulmers! This was something that had me confused for so long, and even now it takes me a minute to get my head around it! Over the last few years, cider experienced a resurgence in the market, primarily due to the ...  Read the complete review

After one very bad experience with some White Lightening as a teenager I vowed never to drink cider again, and until today have kept to that. We were having a BBQ and there was only some Magners Irish cider left in the entire house, so I decided to give up on my cider ban and give it a go, and I am really glad that I did. It is a very crisp and flavoursome cider, much more than the cheap yet strong White lightening, and at about 4.5% is just enough to have a few without starting to feel the real effects of starting to feel a tad tipsy. I think the main difference that I noticed was that cans such as Strongbow and Blackthorn have a distinct ...  Read the complete review

Summer is sort of here and the sunny days bring lots of opportunities to laze at the local pub drinking cider all afternoon (not at the moment for me due to the pregnancy but I can watch everyone else drinking the long summer nights away!) My cider of choice for the last couple of years now has been Magners Irish cider. Magners Irish Cider is actually called Bulmers Original Vintage Cider in the Republic of Ireland where it is produced but to not cause confusion it is called Magners Original Irish Cider outside of the Republic of Ireland. All clear and understood, perfect?! When you buy Magners in a pub you generally get it in large glass bottles ...  Read the complete review

I have been meaning to review Magners since I joined Ciao again, but haven't been able to get around to it until now. Magners, is by far my favourite alcoholic beverage, and has been since I was 17, replacing the copious amounts of alchopops which I used to drink. It is the staple drink I have on a night out, and can be found in nearly every pub in Britain. In fact, the only time I have had problems getting it, was when I was in Twickenham last year, where several pubs that I went in, only had Bulmers. The History of Magners William Magner, brought an orchard in 1935 and in 1937 joined forces with H.P Bulmer. When Magner left the business, the ...  Read the complete review
