Can anybody tell me if you can buy strongbow cider in oz. We have started application for PR but i like my cider on the occasional night out. Can't drink anything else and beginning to get worried if this is unavailable.
can anybody help??

kerry you sound like someone after my own heart. I am afraid I am still stuck in a teenage timewarp though and still have it with black current in !!
I am going on Saturday so I will look see and let you know !!

Would be best putting the question to the Australia Lifestyle Forum.
It seems you can get it. I did a quick search and it came up with this one:
Can I get Scrumpy Jack in Aus

You nurses! Priority question is about alcohol - lol - I should know I married a nurse

Haven't seen any.... but haven't looked.
Last time I had some was when I was a student nurse and it had loads of Pernod and Black in it..... mmmmm

Hi Kerry

Had a wee laugh at this one, I remember our chat about this subject, you're not giving up are u.

Lets hope someone finds cider for you, if not maybe an idea for a sideline (Import)!!

Cheers

Yes, you can buy Strongbow here - sweet, dry or draught. Personally I prefer Mercurys, but Strongbow is here!

I was never a great Strongbow drinker in the UK, but I must say the stuff here tastes slightly different - anyone else agree? Couple of pubs have Bulmers on tap, that tastes the same.

Yep, here in WA you can get it too.

Bridgetown in the southwest has it's own cidery(a small one), it's only openend just recently, but makes sense, because that area used to be a major Apple area. And still is a bit I think (Donnybrook).

I've recently discovered cider, and love it! (though in Holland I drank Apfelkorn, is that cider too? Well, similar anyway)

Yes, you can get it in almost every pub. I am addicted to that stuff..I could not live without it

Did you copy my avatar pic?

yes i agree, can get strongbow dry in bottles here in VIC but it's not a patch on a pint of the good stuff back in dear old blighty

Glad someone agrees - I've been telling people its not the english Strongbow, but they wouldn't believe me!!!

Yes am sorry to have to admit that, so far, I have been unable to get real cider in Oz - I suspect it is more due to the types of apples grown here than any lack of brewing skills. However, I've got some possible leads on small 'boutique' cider makers that I'll be following up soon (it's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it... )

Will post details if my, er, copious 'research' proves successful....

Anya (why isn't here a cider smilie?)

Don't bother with the strongbow over here, they put pear in it, for some unkown reason. It taste completely different to the stronbow back in the UK.
I tried VB and all the other so called beers and even drank wine for a while due to the lack of good old bo, but I have now hit upon Mercury cider made in Tasmainia it is excellent but make sure you buy the draught.

I've tried the aussie strongbow and its very different to the UK one...
