Blueberry, Cranberry Kopparberg

radiospan

Just saw them in this picture: http://www.kopparbergs.com/Images/NewsImages/C9AD2292-7F0C-4CBF-B90C-B15C474CD4EB.jpg

There's another flavour in the middle I can't make out. Raspberry maybe?

Has anyone seen these anywhere in Ireland?

I think that might be strawberry. Unfortunally I haven't see any of these lovely flavours (I was sent on a mission to find them awhile ago)

The closest I've come to other flavours are Brothers pear and strawberry (very nice) which I found in the spar across from DCU. A few flavours by Halmstad, dry lime, catus and lime and I was told some places sell strawberry Halmstad. I've found it in a few places around dublin. It's very nice stuff, about the same as Koppaberg.

Pear, Blueberry, Raspberry, Apple, Cranberry. (i think!)

The only Koppaberg i've seen in Ireland would be the Pear, Apple and Mixed Fruit. You may be lucky and find one in one of the Porterhouses scattered around Dublin City Centre though! I know that McHughs in the Killbarrack Rd have all the ciders in the above post. I actually only tried the Brothers one tonight... its made by a small brewery which was started at the glastenbury festival by two brothers a couple of years back. Im not sure if its fully available in Ireland though. As far as i've heard its mainly still only available at the festival but as you can see, if your lucky you may stumble across it outside...

Kopparberg's swedish, in sweden, when you ask for cider in a pub, it's automatically Pear cider not apple like here. TRUFAX.

They ****ing love their fruity ciders over their, you can get all those flavours in any shop. Why do we just make cider from apples??? It's a disgrace I tell ye.

Actually as far as i know i think most of koppabergs flavours are made from apple or pear cider... then flavours are added to make them taste like the desired fruit. The mixed fruit one is made from pear and added flavourings

Nice, where can you get them?


I've bought Kopparberg from a local Cheers. I wouldn't drink these a lot, but if you feel like drinking something outside of your usual poison (mine being wine) they hit the spot.

Yeah it's nice stuff, real belgian beer, not like all those fake kopparberg things, same as smirnoff ice or any of those mixdrinks, very disappointing in general.

the off license in phibsborough/harts corner opposite the spar, has a great selection of fruit cider and kopparberg.

Molloy's in Tallaght Village does a Raspberry and Blackberry Kopparberg. It comes in 4.5% and 7% ABV. Something like 3.85 a bottle. Amazing stuff, all the lads were raving over how good it was. I'd say it would be class in a glass with some ice, great summer drink

Anyone know of any non-apple cider that's sold in cans?

All I can think of that I actually want to drink is pear or mixed berry cider at Electric Picnic, but I can't be bringing in bottles. I know they sell the cans in Sweden, but has anyone come across any cans in Ireland... the druid or other versions would do as well.

Cheers.

Read any of the many threads on Kopparberg cider that are in the forum, there are definitely cans of Kopparberg available.

Saw Kopparberg in the local Tesco today and thought why not, am off work today so might as well enjoy it.

So here I am sipping a Pear Cider, tis quite nice have to say, must keep an eye out for the other flavours mentioned here as well.

For the moment, I need to do some further tastings of the Pear and Apple Kopparberg currently chilling in the fridge (for purely culinery reasons of course )
