Bulmers VS Devils Bit

Have to say i'm a fan of the old Cider more so than anything else and my usual tipple is Bulmers, but recently i have taken a fancy for Devils Bit. Was in tesco today and bought a 2 litre bottle of the stuff, its in the fridge now getting cold for later on, its fuckin lovely. Only €5.49 for 2 litre bottle. Anyone interested in the cans its the same price for 4 cans (500ml):)
And Bulmers Pear, tasted it once, didn't really like it at all. Heard it gives you the runs anyway:D

I'm not sure how they get away with calling it pear cider... shouldn't it be classed as mead?

Anyway, my tipple is usually continental lager. I am quite partial to a bit of Polish, actually!

Mead's great.

For me, bulmers is a class in itself when it comes to cider.

Shouldnt be called either, it a Perry bulmers used to make it before, it was called ritz and i think the Stag stuff was one as well

Druids may perhaps have the closest taste to the "Tipperary Chardonnay"............

They're doing a special at the moment, 4 cans for €5..............
