Strongbow

What have they done to my cheap tack.
Strongbow is in a new can and is now 4.6% not 6% any more,,which means ill have to drink more of them (which aint too bad).

But they just snuck this out ,wasent even on the front page of the Sun.

And the other cheap 6% ciders are sold in hardwear shops (for removing paint)

i think it still tastes to same. I need answers.:mad:

Strongbow is shíte! Samsons (also made by Bulmers) is a far better option. it tastes better, it's cheaper (4 cans for €5!!!!) and it will never sell out and drop from it's 6% status

I saw a Bavaria beer that was 7.9% last night. Was amazed, never saw that beer that strong.

There are fecking loads of cheap ciders at 6%.
Linden Village and Devil's Bit are 6% afaik. Could be wrong though.

Bulmers Light ftw!
Better taste and LESS CALORIES

havent seen that im my offie ,,,must ask.

how much cheaper get the six cans for 8:60.

you can get eight of them and twenty smokes all for under a score

(heads out to grab a few with my last tenner)

that's the thing about Samsons, it's really hard to find. I only know of one offy that sells it (and that's closed for renevations)

and any cider that comes in those massive plastic bottles is absolute shíte

True, true ... but I do have a soft spot for Linden Village ... for auld time's sake. :cool:
Just one whiff takes me back to when I was 15 years old ... great days. Great days indeed.
I thought I was ten feet tall and bullet-proof (as it happens, I now know I am neither)

Just the once. I am assured it was completely accidental.

Nothing too serious ... "soft tissue" damage ... but I have a lot of soft tissue

ah, so this was the day you realised you're not bullet-proof. a sad sad day for brother Trout, one which we all have lived, or must live
