I like a bit of Rattlers cider when I'm down Cornwall. On tap in every pub.
The Healey's cider farm is a decent day out- near Newquay.

Old Rosie is great too. The one is the massive glass bottle with a little handle.

Don't want too many of those or you'll know about it the next day.
Go down like pop though, especially outside on a sunny day

I got hammered on that a few years ago on Xmas Eve, that was a ropey Christmas dinner.
Yes not bad at all, not far from me but closer is the bearded brewery the Suicyder Super Strength is crazy at 12.7% surprisingly nice but only sold in half pints and a maximum of 2 halves per session

I'd like to say I have fond memories of visiting my friend in Oxford but thanks to old Rosie I can't.

Indeed I go to Cornwall every year and regularly nearly shit myself because of Rattler. Last year we got there early so I decided to sit in the Watering Hole drinking it until we could get into our apartment. Well, that was the plan but I stayed longer than expected. I got halfway across Perranporth beach and the rumblings started, the gurgles. I had 3 options. Go back to the Watering Hole, climb the hill to our apartment or just shit myself right there.
I went for the apartment option and I arrived sweat was beading off me and I was clenching for dear life, as I made the hallway the missus was sorting our packing out and I just had to barge her out of the way to make it by the skin of my teeth.
"You been drinking Rattler again"
It literally destroys your insides for days. Go again in 3 weeks, cant wait to nearly shit myself for the 12 consecutive summer.

Not strictly true. Perry and pear cider are two different things. Perry pears are a type of non-eating pear specifically used to make cider. Pear cider is made from a range of different pears, including edible ones, and also often contains apple juice. These pear ciders are very often made from concentrate and not pressed juice. Pear cider can more properly be called a cider-like pear-flavoured drink. The vast majority of pear ciders sold are of this type. Look at the list of ingredients on the bottle. If the label on the bottle doesn't say Perry then it's not Perry. Even CAMRA defines cider and Perry as different drinks so based on that all these commercial fruit flavoured ciders of different fruit types aren't really cider as cider is made from apples, not strawberries and rhubarb etc.
Perry is quite notable for having a bit of an unpleasant side affect if you consume more than a few pints, hence the 'Old Grumble Tum' type names associated with it.

I live in Cornwall and have had to ration myself to just a couple of pints of it really.

Is Black Rat still a thing? Used to have a box under the bar at the local watering hole and always walked home immediately after the second pint, in a race to beat the inebriation.

The tasting area was the best bit of the cider farm, I kept doing laps of that every time the staff switched over.
Yes had one the other week

Depends on how far back you take the definition I guess. I’m a traditionalist so would say perry rather than pear cider but equally, I never drink it anyway so it’s all a bit irrelevant. Now where did I put my apfelwein.

Same. Some ridiculously strong stuff. They also give you a token for a pint of cider or cup of coffee. I didn't go to a cider farm for coffee.....even at 9am

I've got folks coming round for a BBQ this afternoon and there's half a dozen Rattlers bottles in the fridge but they are out of date. Do I leave them in there?

I think Perry, as a drink, goes back to Roman times. Napoleon is alleged to have referred to it as English Champagne. 'Pear cider' is a very modern thing, invented, apparently, by Brothers because they didn't get much joy trying to sell it at music festivals because nobody had heard of it.
Pear cider is just over-hyped, over-processed crap and alongside all the other various sweet, fruit-flavoured 'ciders' is marketed at the girlies and youth demographics who haven't developed a taste for the real thing. They're no different to all the alcopops and fruit-flavoured wines such as MD2020. Gin is probably the most recent alcoholic beverage to get the same treatment as soon as it became popular, getting all the different flavours that appeal to the taste buds of youngsters. Vodka was the same.

I just need 6 pints of Jakehead and a whisky ending.
