No wonder production has been stopped, its a facking rip off

You never see any offers on Bulmers in supermarkets like you see on Miller or Heineken beers, another decent brand of cider with the same level of marketing would leave them f*cking back to selling it to Clonmel scumbags

Bulmers is a UK company.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulmers_%28Ireland%29

Secondly there is an additional excise duty (above normal excise duty) on Cider in Ireland. €2 per can is excellent value.

Mind you, still wouldn't drink it, I think Cider is pi$$

Nothing in your link suggests it is a UK company.

Wrong.

Bulmers is a Irish country. Well i dont know who its owned by now, but its Irish, they trade under Magners in the UK/Europe.

the Drink Bulmers in the UK is owned by a different company, and has nothing to do with the Irish Bulmers!

Exactly right. Glad I'm not a Bulmers drinker though as cider is so much more expensive than lagers.

It's weird, everything in his link is about it being Irish, he wasn't even mistakenly linking to the english Bulmers. It's owned by C&C by the way, with their headquarters in Dublin.

And this is why it helps to read and be sure of something before you post
I think he has learned his lesson.

Bulmers/Magners tastes great but its too expensive. I do like me some cider especially when its warm out but im far more inclined to buy Druids or maybe spend a little bit more and get Strongbow (brewed by Bulmers in clonmel).

I like bulmers but at the price it is in some places I'd buy lager any day!

Need more decent promotions. It's just to expensive to like bulmers.

I'd say Kopperberg has taken a good bit of Bulmers sales away since it became popular here
