Thats another thing I don't get. Magners. When it came out it was advertised with an emphasis on being IRISH cider. Now forgive me if I'm wrong but since when has Ireland had a reputation of producing fine ciders? Or was the point that the Irish have a stereotype of being drunk and therefore everything thats Irish and alcoholic must be good?
Oh, and from what I've tasted of magners, I'd rather stick to the mass produced, chemical infested "West Country" ciders than the mass produced, chemical infested Irish Ciders

Magners is about as Irish as O'Rothlain; It just thinks it is.

HOW DARE YOU....
I know several Ciders which arent mass produced, if you want real cider get Cask cider, none of this stuff of draught...

I was talking about the ciders which you get outside of the south west. Strongbow, Woodpecker, Scrumpy Jack etc.

Well, Magners has been around since 1937. I don't think anyone is saying that Ireland is this great cider nation, but that Magners is unique as an Irish Cider.
Ah, now you're just being mean spirited.
Magners is very nice as a cider. Having said this, I must admit that I don't have the opportunity of being exposed to all the unique varieties you gents have.
I was introduced to cider by a welshman after a rugby match while playing in college. I instantly fell in love. Unfortunately, hard-cider hasn't been that easy to come by. It is slowly building a fan base and I'm able to find it now in more and more places, but our brands are limited. So, to me, Magners is really nice...it's different than the others. I also like "K" cider...which I think is English.

That wasn't my hat, Franklins Gardens also had run out before I had my 4 pints (which took around an hour). I had to pinch that one off a mate.
