Magners Pear Cider


Muley

Recommended Posts

It is, but the name 'perry' doesn't appeal to the male drinking market.


Still, if Magners have managed to persuade teams of braying rugby players in Richmond that it's cool to drink an ice-filled glass shaped like a vase full of pink cider, then who knows what's possible?

Ah, the Windmill... I've seen some pretty awesome gigs there. The debut Pama International gig, J Church, Boards of Canada, Blocko... the list goes on.


Pear Magners is horrid.

I went for a family BBQ at the weekend and my cousins boyfriend brought this vile brew called 'Brothers Strawberry Cider'...anyone heard of it? Never really got into drinking any kind of cider at all (except at 14 with a 3 litre bottle of Happy Shopper's finest) but this takes the award for being by far the most revolting.

I spent years at university drinking cider and then many years after not able to touch the stuff after one too many times tasting cider in reverse...


Never thought I'd like it again but have found myself enjoying the odd glass of Magners, Bulmers or best of all the Kopparberg Pear.


Guess pretty much everything comes back into fashion in the end.

White Lightning was ruled-out on the grounds that you should never buy any food or drink which offered more than 50% extra free - as standard.


For a sustained stint 'down the labour exchange' one must seek-out the harder-to-find beverages in order to expand one's palette.


I seem to remember that Blue Ocean smelled faintly of piss when you cracked the seal, but wasn't so bad after you got about two thirds of the way down the bottle.

In Liverpool we used to drink 2l of "Pulse8" (8% white cider) before a night out. Think it was only about ?2 a bottle, and would mean you didn't need to spend too much on drink once you got out... If you got out after that.

Poor old much maligned perry. I'm partial to a drop whenever I'm in Herefordshire Wales. Bulmers/magnets can keep their sickly brews however.


And how anybody can drink more than one kpppaberg without slipping into a hyperglycaemic coma is beyond me. Same goes for Adventure Bar cocktails. Health and Safety need to confiscate their sugar syrup bottles.

Brendan, all is forgiven.


I personally prefer summer fruits though.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
