[Food] So, where did the Strongbow go?

Nobody who chooses to drink Strongbow is allowed to criticise another cider or any alcoholic drink for that matter - are you 12 years old OP?

I haven’t drank cider they stopped selling Woodpecker in those Corona type bottles (the ones you used to get 5p back on) in about 1985.

However yesterday I was given a pint in error instead of the Lager, I drank it and found it quite refreshing on a hot day and even bought a second pint.

I’m off sick today as I’ve been up all night with the worst case of the shits I’ve ever had.

It could have been the heat, it could have been something I ate, however I know where I’m laying the blame (excuse the pun)

At the game yesterday there was no Strongbow on offer in Dicks, just some horrid sweet cider called Inches.

I thought it might have just been left over stock from the WC games.

But alas the ghastly stuff was for sale on the concourses too.

I had 3 pints of the stuff in total, after the last of said 3 at half time gave me the worst case of heartburn I've ever had.

I went back to the concourse to ask for some milk but they could only point me to the uht stuff on the drink shelves in the SWC we're supposed to use for coffee etc.

I was in a fair amount of distress and even approached by the St John's ambulance thinking I was having heart problems as I was clutching my chest.

Is this switch to Inches cider a permanent change?

If it is I won't be doing any drinking at the ground from now on as I don't like lager or the brown stuff.

Tis a shame as getting to the ground later on trains is a ball-ache.

Thanks for the insult about a genuine question, and asking if I'm 12

What a prat.

In response to the others it 's my choice of drink, .

In response to the others it 's my choice of drink, I like the bitter bite when it's cold and refreshing in the summer.

As far as the heartburn goes I've had the same thing with all the Rekorderling ciders and pear cider so avoid those, the same with Aspalls.

I don't mind a Stowford either but Strongbow is ok as far as I'm concerned and available at most places.

Weston's original would be ideal but I imagine the authorities wouldn't be too happy with an 8.2% cider on sale.

It's just frustrating when a football stadium actually sells something you like and seems quite popular from what I've seen there and changes it to something else that I didn't personally like.

Each to their own and all that.....

Have you tried Fosters? That also tastes like alcoholic piss.
