They have the same branding as in Ireland, and the Bulmer’s can even says Irish Pear Cider. This is the UK branding of the range: http://bit.ly/13XY8HO. I’m not sure if that particular pear cider is available in a can, but the apple cider can is similar in branding to the bottle.

I haven’t been to Bonny’s, though, so I haven’t seen the one for sale in Korea.

Great list, still!

LOL :-)

The Bulmers brothers fell out and one moved to Ireland but they have the same recipes and therefore the same products. Bulmers Original (S&N UK product) is slightly lighter but almost identical to Magners. Recently Tesco have stopped stocking Magners altogether in preference to Bulmers Original due to the increase in customer demand for the product. Magners is made by Bulmers Ireland which is a different company and is a different product and as such cannot use the Bulmers brand name on UK mainland due to copyright infringements. S & N UK bought Bulmers in summer 2004 and owns the Bulmers name and redeveloped an old product for launch this year using the brand name.

Perhaps we shall have to do taste off to investigate the matter further :)

And the ad for Magners on British TV is the exact same as the one for Bulmers on Irish TV, but with the name changed!
It’s very strange…

Magner’s is an Irish cider but they call it Bulmers in Ireland. There is also an English brand of cider called Bulmers. So thats why the Irish Bulmers is called Magners everywhere else. It’s all very confusing, especially after you have had a few :)

I was home in the UK recently and well impressed by the range of fruit ciders available. I hope more of these make it over.
