malibu Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Do you mean non-alcoholic apple cider or hard apple cider? I like both, personally, I'm just curious on what you're referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Apple juice/cider was invented because of the prohibition which banned hard ciders because of the sinful boozeamahol. Same with grape juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willow Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I'm pretty sure even non-alcoholic cider has a little bit of alcohol content in it because if I'm not mistaken, apple cider is fermented apples with spices added in. but it's not very strong so it's safe for anyone to drink alcoholic cider on the other hand is called hard cider in the US Edited February 2, 2016 by willow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple cider here usually advertised as a more pure form of a less filtered apple juice. They even sell packets of powdered hard cider in the tea section of grocery stores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinharia Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 There is an Apple Soda of sorts in Ireland called Cidona, it is basically fermented apple juice and carbon dioxide with less than 1% alcohol. Tastes a lot like Magners/Bulmers "hard" Cider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless/Nameless Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It is a fairly confusing topic i must admit. Growing up I always assumed cider was the boozy stuff like Kinharia said.

I asked if you meant alcoholic or non alcoholic because I wanted to talk about the alcoholic stuff, haha. This fall I had some amazing pumpkin cider from a brand called Ace. I don't know if it's seasonal or not, but I haven't been able to find it since the fall. I also really like Angry Orchard because of the variety of flavors they have. I like to grab the value pack and take turns drinking different flavors. Very tasty stuff! I much prefer it over beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like ciders because they taste like apple soda and they're impossible to get drunk or even buzzed on. If I wanted something to get buzzed on or seriously drink, I'll grab a bottle of vodka or cognac.

The scary thing about Irish and English ciders is how quickly you get drunk on 5% cider I personally love the Reserve Ciders that are a few year sold. A couple of breweries do them the way Traditional Wines are made and give quite a good flavour (and kick) as well!

Zeke Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I am a big cider drinker, and I tend to buy a lot of different ones when I am feeling fancy and shit. Other than that, I stick with either Bold rock or Angry orchard. Mebbe woodchuck. I also use it as a marinade/tenderizer when cooking. Lamb marinated in a dry cider is tasty AF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is that because of my height and weight I need a little extra booze than a normal person to feel anything. It's why I stick to my hard alcohol at 40%-51.5%. Anything else is just me drinking empty calories and enjoying my afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
