    Nice idea. There are 20 or so microbreweries in the country and I can't think of one that's doing cider.

    If you came up with a refreshing one that wasn't too strong I could see it going down well. Bit of a gap in the market it's like you only have Bulmers/Kopaberg and homeless 6% nastiness.

    Not to be too pedantic, but breweries don't make cider. I get your point though. There is a guy in Dublin, David Llewellyn, who makes a cider called Double L on a small basis - cider isn't really my thing, but I believe it's pretty good.

    There seems to be a fair few of them on ebay, I don't know about shipping but I'd say it would be the easiest way to get 1
