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.

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!
