British Beer Garden

Last night after our softball game some of my teammates and I went to this pub called Edinboro (not spelled exactly like the Scottish capital), which had this fantastic outdoor area with picnic tables, bars, and grills. Although obviously English, it kinda reminded me of some of the outdoor patio bars we have in Atlanta, like The Brew House, 97 Estoria, U Joint. My teammate Vicky, on the table facing the camera, bought me my first cider on ice, Magners, and I really liked it.

Can anyone tell me if its available in Atlanta?

Might become my summertime drink this year!

Looks like it's available in some states, but not Georgia. You'll have to make the trek down to Florida...or enjoy some while you're visiting your folks in Connecticut!

Looks as though they sell it on Long Island. If you come for a visit this summer, I'll see if I can get you some.

Hey, It's distributed in CT, maybe we can get some for the reunion in September?

Thank you all for the good info on the cider - I'll look forward to having it in the Northeast later on this year!

Farflung, I have lots of favorite aunts on both sides of the family, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess Terry?? (this could be embarrassing if I'm wrong, eh?)

Nope, but good answer, spoken like a true lawyer......

OK,OK, I meant to embarrass you but not for too long. I'll try to embarrass your dad now, I'm his favorite sister..........(sure hope his other sister isn't reading this)

Seriously, you and John look like you were having a swell time over there. You look like two peas in a pod. I'm so glad he went to England to visit you.

love,
your next to favorite aunt?

Oh, must be Fran! I should have gone with my initial instincts!

I have not seen Magners, but you can make a lovely drink with Blackthorn cider and a little concentrated current. Ask for it in a pub. Yummy!

Georgia has strict alcohol limits. Recall we just started getting some heavier alcohol beers. My guess is cider is on the strong side and thus may be over the GA limit. (think it's around 9 or 10%; buttwiper is around 5% for comparison)

Hutch said...

I'll try that Jess.

I don't think the alcohol is very high in Magners, is about 5% I beleive. There are other brands that are good, I just didn't like Strongbow that much, which is the only one I recognized from Atlanta

magners and bulmers are usually 4.5%. You can definitely get it in Florida as i drink it when i'm down on the keys :) but i found this - might help http://www.magnerscider.com/other-markets/distributors.asp
