View Full Version : Magners....
Its almost clear in the shade...but in the sun it goes orange.
Wow. It freaked me out because I have been drinking it in the dark for years. I went mental. "There's something wrong with my magners..."

I'm rather annoyed with it - because I like it but I can't drink it! If I have as few as two cans, I get a headache!
(sigh) I miss Red Rock - "It's not red, and there's no rocks in it!" And where's Copperhead these days?

I wouldn't say cider is for lightweights. I can sit and drink beer all night and not feel drunk but after a few ciders I am usually rolling on the floor.
I love magners have been drinking it for years.
I hate to sound the fool, but what is Mangers :confused:

I'm sure you were drinking Magners last time we met.. Having said that, it could have just been Quadplay, punky and myself..

Paul had cider too - there's a cold bottle of Strongbow sitting here, waiting for him to come downstairs.........but if he's not quick.......:Sprint: :D

Quadplay was definately drinking it- can't get him away from the stuff!
I can't stand any cider though, and yes i have tasted magners- still think it tastes like gone off apples.
Don't really like lager either, give me a pint of John Smiths or a large glass or Johnnie Walker any day :)

I don't think any of the old wineos , who hang out in our parks and open spaces would disagree with you
Is'nt Magners, just a re-branding of the old Bulmers cider, in an attempt to shift cider away from that 'drunks on the park bench' image - or have I got that wrong

Magners isn't mentioned on the Bulmers site.

Weirdest thing is seeing guys with a pint of cider with ice in. My mate says its the only way he can drink it. Download Failed (1)
My Magner's drinking friend informs me that indeed it is- Over the water Magners is sold as Bulmers.

Never underestimate the power of the haunted fishtank. ;)
Or a voice-over-man whose tragic attempt at an Irish accent consists of delivering the entire advert in a nondescript English voice, only to call the drink 'oirish soider' at the end.
Irritates the pants off me. :rant:
I need to get out more. Pint of cider, anyone? :D
fyi, from wikipedia
Cider is a popular drink in Ireland; for a long time cider production was officially encouraged and supported by a preferential tax treatment. A single cider, Bulmers, dominates sales in Ireland: owned by C&C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%26C), Bulmers cider is a different cider to Bulmers in England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England) where C&C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%26C) do not own the brand, in the United Kingdom and USA C&C brand their cider as Magners.

have to say that I prefer Koppaberg compared to Magners....the pear cider of Koppaberg is just soo refreshing and yeah after 3-4 of the bottles your legs do feel kinda weak :O

I did try it last week on a night out and it was lovely. I also noticed they do a Strawberry Cider, now thats different.
