When i'm at home i usually go for Scrumpy Jack or Magners as they are the only good ones you can get in London without travelling loads....
...but i've been extensively sampling the delights of the west country ciders in Exeter and Bath for the last couple of weeks
Stowford press is out in front at the moment, closely followed by Broad Oak and then there's the dubious one i had in a pub near Exeter called just 'Devon Cider' which had stuff floating in it that looked like sperm
I only had one pint of it and i was leaping about all over the place
Don't want to go back to London today...back to the land of strongbow and fizzy pop
Just as i was writing this the reason that i had to be back in London tomorrow (and sober) has been cancelled so i'm staying in Bath for another night....cider is a truly magical thing. I can feel a pub crawl coming on

semiotically superfluous
most pubs round here seem to offer either strongbow or blackthorn on tap; neither is much to get excited about imo, but the former is still much better than the latter.
I had never heard of magners until they started the massive ad campaign recently. still not tried it. seems to be available in bottles in lots of pubs, but never on draught pricey too, and weak.
Scrumpy jack is very much on the blackthorn/strongbow continuum imo, but still better than either.
I've also noticed that some weatherspoons are doing a fair range of ciders lately - had a pint of old rosy in their the other day, which was not only delicious, but at 7.5% and £2.50 (in central london), excellent value. Also had something else from Weston's in a bottle from sainsbury's; it was a bit warm, but nice, and a hefty 8.2%
Also had an apple-flavoured beer recently, not any of yer belgain rubbish, but from poland. pricey, at £3.10 for a 1/2 litre bottle, but gorgeous, and more appley than cider, imo.
ikea ( ) do pear cider, which is quite nice. I've also had kiwi cider, but it was very sweet and quite artificial. Had a pear and vanilla one by the same people ('mad dog', of latvia/estonia, can't remember), and couldn't get over the similarity to vanilla aftershock
edit: oh, and strongbow super only 'tramp' cider I've tried, not too different to normal strongbow on first tast ime, but you taste the healthy dollop of meths pretty soon
