New Blackthorn recipe changed 'to suit Londoners'

[Epico]

Blackthorn and Strongbow are the same thing.

FACT.

 

[tarannau]

Blackthorn is an anodyne industrial keg cider, a mildly different Strongbow eequivalent. It's like complaining that the recipe of Tesco Value Cola has been changed.


I think you're missing the point. You're blaming 'cockneys' for this and there's no indication that anybody here gives one little shit about this marginal recipe change. Piease, yokel envy aside, it's not our fault that your failing brewer's got ideas above its station.

 

[Onket]

Still you miss the point.

And Magners is utterly vile as well. Blackthorn is better

The point is that you're moaning about a shite cider getting marginally shitter, and attempting to somehow blame people from London for it.

Just drink decent cider.

No no no

he might just keel you.

Magners and Bulmers are the same though. FACT!

 

[Onket]

No no no

I drink anything. That is where you fail here.

 

[JTG]

yeah, they're both fucking awful. They make you put ice in it to disguise the fact that it tastes of old tyres

definitely going now, feel free to carry on being daft

 

[Callie]

Fancy a bottle of Jacques?

 

[Onket]

You're not going to try & explain yourself then?

 

[tarannau]

They're not the same in different territories you know.

Whatever next eh? The people of Ashby De La Zouch erupt in righteous outrage when their favoured flavour of (Chicken And Mushroom) Pot Noodles is unexpectedly altered, supposedly because that's what then there Pearly Queens in the big smoke like. It's PC gone mad - bring on the pitchfork wielding mobs.

 

[danny la rouge]

Typical bloody Londoners, don't even know when they ruined cider! No sense of responsibility.

 

[mattie]

It all went wrong when Blackthorns stopped sponsoring the rugby.

 

[ChrisFilter]

I like Westons.

Of course! You've (possibly) inadvertantly stumbled across the reason JTG likes Blackthorn so much. Sponsorship.

Poofs drink is a poofs drink. Strawberry cider is what it's all about.

First got pissed on a bottle of Natch in Pill precinct.

I cannot stand cider now - at a push I could maybe drink some flat, dry scrumpy but nothing fizzy or sweet.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

That's bollocks to be fair. Every shitting other pub's virtually a gastro-branded 'reinvention' down here now, most offering multiple choices of bottled ciders. Even shitholes carry a selection of a few ciders now since the Magners boom too.

Well. You can get Bugners and Malmers everywhere. Sometimes that strawberry stuff that's too sweet and the pear stuff that's too strong and the wotsit blush, all of which are also too expensive. I've seen Aspalls (sweet though 5.5%) around on tap. And apart from Addlestones, the best option really, that's about it.
