yeah. it about all i drink these days. i like it.

i can't handle guinness. or ale so much although i do like the odd pint of directors and a pack of pork scratchins.
 
we are very poor in terms of cider. not like england or north west france. same as craft beer. we struggle. guinness is about it. and its such a huge brand and so massively associated with a national identity. well, how can you stop it even if its piss.

arthur guinness was a prick

What about Magners ? Is that popular over there, or is it mainly exported to here?

magnets in the uk is bulmers here. and its huge. i used to drink it a lot. a lot of us did. but its not good grog. in the uk its called magners since the nukekybrownale company had the bulmers trademark and would give it to them. i thinks it more or less the same brew though.

i'm more  can of scrumpy jack or devils bit drinker. real cider. no apples

Oh, OK.

if you read the start of this topic, we talked a fair bit about cider, and why we import Irish Cider when we make so much of it over here.

I think its all down to English drinking culture, and in that, anything Irish involving drink seems to get the thumbs up. Not saying that's a bad thing, but it just re-enforces stereo types about the Irish we may tend to have here.

Cider wise, my fave is Aspalls cider from Norfolk, which in itself is a break from West Country cider.

Ah well, it all does the same job  :D :D

Well, we here think The One & Only preferred choice is Scottish or Irish. ;) Islay or highland single malt. Some good labels in Japan as well though they're considered rather as a rarity.

Btw, is there any local brewery coming from Bradford? I'd like to taste an authentic brew or cider from there if there is some.

Rusco,

What beers do you lot have up there  ?  any famous Finnish brewer, or do you mainly import the stuff ?

Oh yes there are. Sinebrychof and Olvi are the biggest brewerys here. Products like Karhu, Koff & Lapin Kulta for some to mention. They are the oldest and common here. Some new, minor companies like Laitila make very interesting beers which have a rich flavour (Keisari and Marsalkka) and nowadays I rather spend my money on them although the price is somewhat high. Pubs do import Czech, German and British brew too and have a wide availability.

Finns have always drank a lot. Some would say too much. In history, until 1940's people made a booze called sahti and kilju that had a strong odour and tasted somewhat terrible. Long time ago, at a time of First World War and after that there was a twenty years period when alcohol was controlled and prohibited by law. Many made sahti secretly at home. Prohibition brought a taboo stamp for long time for being drunk in public or if you even went to a pub. But things changed of course. I'm soon an old fart and have not seen those days, but my generation's parents remember it still.

Punk rockers have always made kilju at home. Once when the Scots Oi polloi were touring in Finland first time they were amazed by kilju here and there's a rumour that when they returned to Britain and met the Doom guys there (who were going to tour next Finland), they told that "beware those Finns, they will give you a drink called 'kill-you' and they'll take you to hot sauna and spank you with tree branches!"  ;D The branches are actually made of birch and used to stimulate the skin while it's 85 celsius hot in sauna. It's a very old tradition.
