    Oh right. I thought it might have been like Kildare Village.

    You know, the outlet shops and stuff? Great bargains there.

    Anyway, is it one of those new Pear cider thingys?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 390 ✭✭idunnoutellme

    It's been about for years. One of the first drinks I've ever had. I actually had a few cans of it a couple of weeks ago!!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    Its rotten stuff altogether..you can still get flagons of it for 3 euro!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 79 ✭✭Darr3nG


    There's a great drinking game associated with it (this and other multi-litre plastic bottles of alcohol), where you attach a bottle to each hand with gaffer tape and can't take them off till you finish both bottles.

    It's mad craic at the start, but a bit much when you're dying for a piss! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 390 ✭✭idunnoutellme


    I choose to buy it in cans - feels more classy :D

    So what's the difference between Linden Village and regular Bulmers?

    About 20 quid in your pocket after a nights drinking and about 20 years off the lifespan of your liver


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭Birdie086


    Nothing like two litres of Linden village to cheer you up on a friday night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 739 ✭✭✭hblock21


    no its like a normal cider and made by bulmers

    Nothing. They're both sh!te.

    The only place I will drink cider is in France, where they actually know how to make delish, cold, tasty cider.
    Preferably eaten with a side order of crepes.

    I've been liking the Lindo lately again. Didn't drink it for years. I reckon I'll be bring a few flagons to the picnic this year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭marwelie


    Thats what you get for not drinking, I thought Linden Village was the place Bono and his mates frequented when they were younger!

    Sounds nice though, I might try one if someones buying!







    NOTE
    According to Wikipedia (so therefore it MUST be true!) it was Lypton Village they came from.

    I drank a 3 litre bottle of this under a bridge when I was 14, I can sort of remember it going in but I will never forget it leaving my body as long as I live. Its making me feel ill at the though of it.

    Dont ever remember seeing it in 3 litre bottles..

    The reason they all slag you is because its a "homeless person" drink.



    Disclaimer: I am not suggesting all homeless people are drunks.

    Its decent enough if its been in the fridge for a couple of hours. I dont like Bulmers. Too weak and too expensive.

    I also like Druids cider. Very sweet though.

    I just drink it out of a 'Bulmers' glass from now on :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 269 ✭✭m3llowship


    Not a bad cider at all, could be worse.

    There's all these rumours that its the dreggs of Bulmers but I dount it to be honest.

    When I was a cider drinker I drank it but the stuff cuts the stomach out of me these days....

    Anyway, there are worse ciders, namely Druids (diabettes in a can) or Hereford (caustic soda mixed with paint thinner).

    It was defintely 3 litres, I will never forget it till the day I die.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭marwelie


    Having drunk 3 litres of it I'm surprised you remember it, nevermind never forgetting it. Sounds rather painful to me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,687 ✭✭✭Dun laoire

    So what park do go to drink it? :pac::pac::pac:

    If my memory serves me correctly which in fairness might be pretty sketchy on this point, but the flavour of linden village was vastly improved by the addition of a naggin of your cheapest vodka to the flagon.

    One major reason for the purchase of the cheapest cider and vodka was the fact that your friends bast**d of an older brother always doubled the asking price :mad:
