The Bulmers in the UK is not the same as the Bulmers in the Republic of Ireland (hence the one brewed in Clonmel is called Original Irish Cider).However,they could not sell it as Bulmers in the UK market so it was sold as Magners Original Irish Cider.
So don't let anyone tell you that Bulmers Cider and Magners Original Irish Cider is the same thing - this bit from Wkipedia sort of sums it up -
Bulmers Original Vintage Cider is a brand of cider produced in Ireland. To prevent confusion with the British cider of the same name, it is sold outside of Ireland as Magners Original Irish Cider.
Commercial cider production was started in Clonmel, County Tipperary in 1935, by local man William Magner.[1] Magner bought the orchard off a Mr Phelan from Clonmel. Magner quickly established a successful business, and in 1937 he joined forces with the English cider-makers H. P. Bulmer and Company.[2] Dowds Lane in Clonmel was the location of this burgeoning enterprise. In 1949 Magner withdrew from the business and the Bulmers name came to the fore. However H.P. Bulmer maintained international rights to the Bulmers trade mark, which prevented the Irish company exporting the brand from Ireland.
In 1964 the company name was changed to Showerings (Ireland) Ltd. Soon afterwards the company moved its main processing operations to a new complex at Annerville, five kilometres from the centre of Clonmel heading east on the N24 Waterford road, which was opened in 1965 by the then Taoiseach, Seán Lemass.
Today Irish Bulmers Ltd. employs more than 470 people and is a substantial part of the economic infrastructure of the community of Clonmel. It is owned by C&C,[3] one of Ireland's biggest drinks companies.
The success of Bulmers cider in Ireland led to the development of Magners Cider. The concept was originally developed by export director, Stuart Wootten, who argued that the international growth of Irish pubs provided a natural market for an indigenous Irish drink such as Magners. The label is identical to Bulmers. The product is made identically for both the Bulmers and Magners names. It is available in 330 ml, pint, litre and 750 ml bottles and 500 ml cans, and is traditionally served over ice. It is also available in most Irish bars on draught. Initially only available in Spain, Northern Ireland and Scotland, the brand saw its popularity increase significantly in recent years and is now available across the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia[4] and the United States.[1]
The current TV advertising for Bulmers in Ireland mirrored by Magners in international markets, involves adverts that run in each of the seasons. They show a brief shot of an orchard in seasonal conditions - bare and snow covered in winter, lush and green with sunny skies in summer - at the start of the advert, and then how people enjoy the drink during these seasons -by a warm fire in winter, out in the warm sun during summer.
Drinking cider over ice mirrors the move towards chilled and "extra-cold" beers. Magners' success has led to the UK's market leader in cider Scottish & Newcastle introducing 'Sirrus', a version of its Strongbow cider produced specifically to be poured over ice. In 2006 they also relaunched Bulmers Original in the UK, a premium packaged cider.[4]
This disclaimer comes directly from the Magners site - Bulmers Ltd of Clonmel, Ireland is not connected with HP Bulmers Ltd of Hereford, UK. Bulmers Original Vintage Cider produced by Bulmers Ltd of Clonmel, Ireland is sold outside the Republic of Ireland under the name Magners Original Irish Cider
and yes,I have been on it tonight (litre botts).
How you getting to the Crescent Dave?The train from Sydenham across the road from the airport stops right opposite it at Botanic.
The missus has booked me and her in on Friday but not the suite this time - got it for our anniversary and it's feckin' class.

Has anyone taken a "redner" when drinking too much Mangers?
A few Xmases ago I had been on the rip for a week drinking it flat out, one night the mates noticed my face was bright red (apart from round my eyes) and it turned out I had loaded my body with that much I came out in a reaction
Of course everyone thought it was hilarious :![cheersbeer.gif](:")
