Same old product, repackaged and now sold with ice. Suddenly these young guys are falling over themselves to drink it. In the drinks industry they're known as "yimps" - Young Impressionable Male P*ssheads. Next time you order cider with ice or a bottle of exotic sounding lager, remember that.
Have you seen the price of a bottle of Mangers?
Without the ice is it the same horrible mass-produced heartburn juice or is it nice cider that tastes of apples and is a joy to drink? I'm guessing column A.
If I'm in a pub with no real ale, I tend to order pints of "cooking lager and lime". It's pleasant enough and does the trick, and most barmaids get what you're on about in an instant.
