Hello this is my first post and is going to be my first visit to Chalis Beach does anyone know any bar or restaurant selling Cider preferably Strongbow Thanks 8)
-
Cafe Pazar sells Strongbow in 330ML bottles
The larger supermarkets are also starting to stock it, noticed the 330ml bottles in Tansas this morning.
-
Thank you that will make my husbands holiday lol
-
whoppie can buy my favourite tipple now
-
Get him to try the Turkish Cider, I had a bottle in The Rose restaurant, it was yummy!
-
where abouts is the cafe pazar please
-
A decent Turkish cider is Sevillen. You can also get Strongbow in Bati Cafe, PJ's and Meri Bar 8)

Supacabby are you talking about the Cider here labelled as 'Cider' it is gross compared to Strongbow, Magners, Bulmers etc have a look at the label it is full of crap as well as false flavourings. Perhaps after a few Efes's it tastes better but not my cup of tea after trying the main brand ciders in the UK.Glad to hear proper Cider is getting on the shelves here, I prefer Cider to beer but choice here is so minimal.

I had lunch at Fire & Wine winebar yesterday. They were offering English cider and I noticed a sign saying they would shortly be selling bottled Fullers 'London Pride'

All I can say is I had a bottle at The Rose restaurant, no idea of make or model but Mutlu said it was local (as in Turkish not imported) Cider & I thought it was most yummy. It was my 1st drink of the night so it wasn't tainted by Efes or tea!
-
Fire Wine been saying that for few weeks lets hope they are right ,also cafe pazza sells another english cider called brothers ,they do apple or pear 6tl
-
I would agree with corbindallas in that the local Turkish cider Sevillen is not nice and is not good reading on the label :-\,
-
Have to agree Sevillen tastes nothing like uk cider and is far too sweet[xx(]

Maybe that's why I like it, I have a sweet tooth for Cider, Kopparberg Pear being my favourite.
-

I had a bottle of Strongbow in a seafront bar the other day. Just as a change from Efes.
Very refreshing, but at 6.50 Tl for a 275ml bottle, by my reckoning about £5.10 a Pint, not something I will be doing very often!
And usually it is only the price of Efes that I complain about!:D[V
OK, there appears to be a good few arguments and misconceptions about Cider on this topic.:-\
You cannot get a pear cider, there is no such thing. No matter what the label calls it, it is a Perry.
Oh, and for those who think and state Bulmers is "pop" - who on earth do you think makes Strongbow? ( answer - Bulmers )[:(!]
Turkish cider is not made in the traditional "British" cider way. It is generally made from filtered and refined Apple juice. This is then chaptalized and then fermented. The addition of sugar before fermentation serves only to increase the final alcohol content, but does nothing to increase the depth of flavour: rather, it diminishes it. A Lot!
I suppose in the end it is very much "Each to his own taste" 8)

So, why do they market them as seperate brands [?] cos one IS pop ;)
-
I guess it is the "taste" thing which is the main difference between the brands.
Customers tastes do vary, and some prefer the lighter and less sharp taste of the original Bulmers to that of Strongbow. When Strongbow was introduced in 1962 it was the forerunner of the trend towards the higher gravity Ciders: culminating in those ridiculous drinks Diamond White and White lightning, both masquerading as "Cider"
Just how these two managed to lose nearly all their "Cider" flavour in the manufacturing process is beyond me. Undoubtedly they managed to increase the alcohol content to almost ludicrous levels.
Strongbow strength varies according to which country you are in. Bottled Strongbow
UK strength is normally 5.3%
Strangely, Draught Strongbow sold in the UK in normally 4.5%
I don't know the definition of "Pop", but would certainly not apply it to a bottled cider containing 4.5% alcohol - which is almost exactly the strength of the original UK bottled Bulmers! :) :) :)
-
Alc volume of canned strongbow is 5.3%.
-
I like Bulmers Original because I think it tastes of apples - I don't detect that in Strongbow at all and not as much in Magners either.
-
Much prefer Bulmers always have....taste is sooo much better, cant understand why Olga always wanted Strongbow?...
-
Ages since I'd had Bulmers so I tried one tonight ;) I'll hold my hand up ;) it wasn't pop and is wasn't too bad 8)
-
ohhhh arrrrrrrrr!
Nothing like the flavour of a good cool dry cloudy scrumpy served
up from a jug below the Bar!
About the only Cider I drink, apart from something you may be interested in trying, and dont knock it until you try it!
Take any decent medium dry/sweet cider, have a good slurp, take the large Gin you ordered and pour it in, now try it! 8)
Just careful how many you have!
