Who here besides C and myself like it? What kind do you like?

My preferred cider is Woodchuck, more specifically 802.

Hers is Strongbow.

One or two is nice, but it's too sweet for me to drink more than that.

Yeah, ditto. Actually, more often than not I find myself halfway through one wishing I had a beer instead. I do like it, I just like beer better.

I'd say I really like Ace Pear cider.
There's some apple cider made here in Central Texas that I like too.

Strongbow White was rocket fuel...

sweet sweet rocket fuel.

Pity they dont make it anymore.

I can see that my thread has really taken off here.

Tricky- 1

Yeah, but it hasnt lured Carolyn out of hiding.

Can you mention Irish Cider?

HOT IRISH MEN! CIDER! WHISKEY! BUSHMILLS! PATTYS! JAMESON! LIBERTARIANISM!

What Si said. Cider is good but I'd rather have Guinness.</ireland reference>

LIBERTARIANISM!

huzzah!

LIBERTARIANISM!

huzzah!

I didn't know you said "huzzah!" when I said "huzzah!" in another thread!

HUZZAH!

drinking strongbow right now, had a woodpecker and some bushmills earlier.  paddys is good... but my heart may still lie with bushmills.  taste test: the thread.  coming soon.

finally she responds to this thread!

When I was a lad Mother would leave the apple cider in the sun to give it "kick".

Yeah, cider in the States is like thick apple juice, right? And what we call cider you guys call hard cider or something?

i think magners is the same in the states as it is in europe, same with strongbow.  some of the american ones, like cider jack or woodchuck are too sweet.  woodpecker is good, especially on tap, i think that's english though.  cider is definitely better on tap cos even the sweet ones come out a little more dry.  no one i know likes it sweeter, i don't get why strongbow isn't more popular in the states.

Yeah I don't love a lot of the Woochuick flavors such as Pear and Granny Smith. 802 is the best. Surprisingly, the Raspberry isn't too horrible.

I can't drink a lot of cider in one setting, it does get a bit sweet. I usually mix up what I'm drinking, like cider and then mixed drinks, etc.

What's that rocket fuel, Scrumpy?

Havent had it, but might have to try.

OH OH OH

I bet you would like Lambic beers, tricky/punk!

Also, there was cider at J Patrick's.
I made sure to check the menu for it, but i didn't drink any of that girly shit!

i don't drink beer.

i've seen huge rugby players in ireland/UK drinking cider, they'd kick your ass for calling it a girly drink!!

plus it always rocks a decent alcohol content

i don't drink beer.

that's just a flat negation on beer?  without even knowing anything about the lambic variety?

i don't drink beer either, 'cept for Guinness once in a while. i just don't ever like it.

Beer is the quintessence of je ne sais quoi. Nobody can explain why it's good. It just is.

like blue cheese. I love cheese, but it's goddam mold

i don't drink beer either, 'cept for Guinness once in a while. i just don't ever like it.

shandy

i mean i don't ever like beer. people will say "try this", then i do and i don't like it. i do like guinness though.

 I prefer Murphy's to Guinness, but it's hard enough just finding Guinness on tap outside of the NE.

Yeah you pretty much have to go to a pub, even in NOLA. Couldn't even find a bottle the night Thrash and I were out.

Austin Texas has Guiness on tap!

Dude, if you weren't here like three times per year I'd do Moshapalooza in Austin.

But I misses me some Thrash.

So no Maryland for me this time?

I won't be here.

Oh well, I'll go to J.Patricks by myself.

Emp will take you.

Hey, if you come to JAX, I'm gonna force Dave to take me up to see Susie...

Still up in the air. Let you know.

i don't drink beer cos i medically can't - autoimmune issue (celiac disease).  i used to though, before i was diagnosed - but i was diagnosed when i was 18, so whatever beer i drank was of the i-can-get-my-hands-on-it variety.  including the warm ones i kept in a "liquor cabinet"

one day, when i was 17, my mom found my "liquor cabinet."  when she questioned me about it, i told her i was depressed and was going to take a nap.  she never bothered me about it again.

i fucking LOVE CIDER. it taste so fuckin good man. I can drink like 2 liters in 10 minutes!

i fucking LOVE CIDER. it taste so fuckin good man. I can drink like 2 liters in 10 minutes!

I think you just said "I love you" to Thrash...

hahaha cool. i just figured out that you can give somebody and asshole point and then change ya mind to a cool point.

i fucking LOVE SEMEN. it taste so fuckin good man. I can drink like 2 liters in 10 minutes!

As the foreign body is identifed as not-us, the immune response intensifies...

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to do it like this:

After the initial intrusion of the foreign body, we see the long-dormant immune system begin to exhibit signs of activity...

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. So there krsna. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

This tiny font trend annoys me.

Off with his head.

Yeah that's what krsna's saying too. I don't buy it. Just skip over tiny font. That's the intent. If you're really interested then go ahead and read it. Otherwise skip the sucker. May as well complain about use of parentheses (or hyperlinks).

Might as well complain about shit that actually does something instead of an annoyance you have to deal with in order to understand the poster's joke? You make no sense sir.

big also sucks ass, if you type too many words.

Who cares if you don't understand the person's joke? When was the last microjoke that was actually funny?
I usually put my saddest jokes or most boring thoughts in micro specifically to avoid annoying others.
What options do i have left? Just shutting up?


oh...

oh...

I was doing it right - that's how a story progresses?

See this thread:

You said the same exact thing in a different thread. Hence my belief that you should've quoted yourself in this thread instead of just putting it as a normal post. Get with it, Lucus!!

Maybe tiny font self quoting is the new new trend.

So returning to the topic at hand, I've never had cider (apart from the delicious drink Si called "thick apple juice") but I've always been highly curious about the alcoholic variety.

I knew it would be a female to first start the initiation.  None of the guys would dare to scare off a new potential female.

I'm going to have cider tonight just for the hell of it. I'll post my experiences here when I come to

i'm going out tonight to try new whiskey.  so no bushmills tonight.  i want to try michael collins, redbreast, and possibly a third.  woo!

"Try new whiskey"? Is that what they call it now?

i want to try michael collins...

Been drinking Strongbow a lot recently, I've developed quite a taste for it. Drinking one right now, as it happens.

I'm going to be having some cider later on tonight!

w00t!

Lotsa Strongbow! In nice tall cans, love that 5.3%. Time for another!

This trend has continued. I can't get SB everywhere, so I still drink beer pretty often, but as often as it's available I drink cider.
