Default Pear cider.........

.........anyone else like it?

My Mrs got me bottle to try over Christmas, but due to illness, I only tried it about a week ago. It's not as "sour" as apple cider, doesn't give me heartburn, but is a pleasnt taste.

I've tried Bulmers and Thatchers, both are good.

Only problem is that it tastes so damn like pop that you get wasted before you know it!

That and the local co-op had it on offer 3 for a fiver... God my head hurt the next day!

There is only major issue about drinking Pear Cider of course. It has another name: Perry. Otherwise known as Babycham.

You Puff.

Pear cider is nice, but scrumpy is the daddy! Especially Richs farmhouse scrumpy from watchfield, somerset. Goes down a treat, £1.20 a litre and kicks you in the head after a few.....

Kopparberg is king!

However I still find my manliness questioned by some when I go into a bar and order what is effectively a fruit juice!

kopperberg is nice,they also do a mixed berry flavour which is a good base mix for punch.

Ikea is the cheapest place, they have a mini supermarket near exit, think a crate of 24 cans is around £25

Been drinking it for a while, I love it. Koppaberg, as mentioned (a few times ) is the best and really refreshing.

When I went to Symonds Yat last year, they served a cider "slush puppy" in the pubs. Now that was heavenly!
