The nothing special, nothing awful, go to cider has been pulled in favor of "hip new flavors" which I guess is code for "sugary urine."

I've been new-Coked. :smith:

A good cider is dry and like drinking the desert. Strongbow was no A+ but it was a solid B-, but it's gone now.

Gone now :(

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

the only justifiable reason to 'go to' cider is getting preteens drunk

Nah Strongbow was a legit not horrible bar grade cider. I won't miss it much as I don't drink cider but it's lovely they're dropping it for corn syrup elderberry poo poo.

Do people actually drink hard cider? I mean, like, regularly. Not when you're visiting your grandma on Christmas Eve.

I thought that Cidre by Stella Artois wasn't terrible. Magner's is pretty dry no?

Magner's is pretty good actually, usually on tap and can mix with a lager on hot days.

“Strongbow is perfect for those occasions when you’re on a rooftop with friends on a warm, sunny day, kicking off your afternoon plans, and all that matters is spending time together,”


if this even slightly resembled my life i wouldnt need to buy alcohol in the day or at night when the girl at the grocery store makes small talk as i pay for three single cans of beer

Yeah. It's pretty big in some places.

I pick up a case or two, or growler of the local stuff, depending on my mood. Goes down very easily, tastes great, has as much alcohol as a beer and is just good all round.

Yeah good dry ciders are fantastic after a hot days labor, or a hot days doing nothing because hell I'm an American I do what I want.

And I want old Strongbow.

I'm sure there are a variety of wine coolers and hard lemonades to replace cider availability for men with cats and girls too young to order a vodka tonic convincingly.

Do you realise how American and manly ciders are historically? Jeez, guy.

Cider is good. I went to college in Vermont, so Woodchuck was popular. I don't like the really sweet ones any more (which is most of them), but the granny smith kind is nice and tart.

I did try some Strongbow recently, and it was too sweet. :mad: I remember it being better when I had it in Australia.

The one good thing about gluten-free crap becoming a giant fad is that suddenly everywhere sells hard cider! The nearby fancy grocery store had a ton of different kinds.
