[edit] Trendy
Magners (as it is known over here) - seems to be very very trendy (and expensive) in the UK at the moment, with the pint bottles selling for £4 in most pubs in London (to my bemusement, 'cos personally I think it tastes like piss). There is a marketing campaign going on, but it seems to me that everyone was drinking it before I saw the first advert, maybe I missed the original campaign. Jooler 01:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Millions of people go on holiday to Ireland every year. In pubs there pints of Guinness is more than equalled in consumption by pint-bottles of Bulmers (aka Magners in England) over ice, or smaller long-neck bottles for the ladies, as well as pints of lager such as Harp, cans of Budweiser (US version) and pints of bitter eg Smithwicks or Kilkenny.
Irish pubs have been selling Magners for years, and it is only in the last two years that the distribution has been upped to English pubs, and in the last year, to supermarkets.86.130.201.177 13:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
No, Irish pubs have been selling Bulmers for years, they refer to it as 'tramp joice'. I love this trend towards extra cold drinks, chilling drinks so you can't taste them is necessary for drinks that taste this bad. Why are people such suckers for marketing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.18.66.121 (talk) 21:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
If you're lucky you'll get a pint bottle, but some pubs in the UK are charging big monies for the 330ml "ladies" bottles!
- I hate those tiny little bottles designed for tossers. Either get the 568 or get nothing at all.--MonkBirdDuke 21:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Voice in the adverts?
Whos the bloke with the deep Irish accent who does the voiceovers in adverts for Magners? Also is it POV to suggest that Magners is a Summer drink as I drank it lots during the summer but barely had any lately now its Autumn? --Wrh1973 17:20, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CO2 nonsense
While being an environmentally aware person, I feel the CO2 part is heavily weighted. Apples decompose and ferment naturally when not gathered and, as with other crops such as rape, are part of a closed system (the CO2 released was gained from the atmosphere in the first place). That said, it does still seem silly to transport the apples to Ireland and then the cider back to the UK. 85.22.29.120 04:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- The part about fermenting the apple juice should be removed completely, because clearly the apples that make the cider will use up more CO2 by turning it into sugars than is produced during the fermentation process, where "at least 50%" of the sugar is turned into CO2. Whoever added that should think before they add things next time. Ian 17:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes I think it is fair to say Bulmers is a Summer drink. As Ireland has been having a terrible rainy summer Bulmers has had to let a number of people go temporarily as sales have hugely declined because of the bad weather. (Solitaryman666 00:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)).
