Brothers Cider in cans

[rischbrit]

As most of us go through the annual often fruitless (no pun intended) task to find Brothers Cider in cans to take to Glastonbury I'd just thought I'd tell you that Brothers now sell their cans online direct from them.

The only downside is the £8 delivery cost but it's straight to your door. Apologies if it's been mentioned on here before. Oh and no I don't work for Brothers although I wish I did

[Earthwindandfire2205]

Thank you. Think I may be purchasing a couple of cases

[jeffie]

Will they deliver to my tent?

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

They also tend to open the warehouse between the Tuesday-Thursday of the festival and allow you to go and pick up cans on the way, pretty sure they've done that the last couple of years anyway.

Now that would be epic, imagine getting a slab of ice cold brothers delivered to your tent in time for breakfast each morning....sheer bliss

[tjfish]

I'd just like to reccomend the syrups they have too - As a student, I use those syrups with almost anything & get the great Brothers taste!

Yes, even lambrini.

if that truly was no pun intended then i am disappointed, it would have been a flawless pun had you meant to do it

if you did mean to do it then stop this charade

They were selling crates of 24 festival strength cans for £15 at their factory in Shepton Mallet a couple of days before the fest last year.

Might do that again for those interested.

[LEDZEP66]

I got an email off them a week before the festival advertising the 24 for £15 offer but by then I had bought all my alcohol.

I normally take bulmers, last year I had strongbows mixed fruit which was really nice even when warm and I start drinking when I wake up then hit the spirits when the sun goes down. If I had brothers cans not sure if I would still be standing come tea time

[rischbrit]

And they are the full size cans too not the shorter stubby ones like coke size ones

Do they actually have a shop at the factory, then? Or do they just open something temporary before glasto as they're so close? I'm not too far from Shepton, so I might pop up there if there are deals to be had!

[LEDZEP66]

Price wise it is a bargin, expecially if you can slow your drinking pace down, which I struggle to do

[EZYSEY]

I love brothers cider but its a dangerous game to play with my bowel. Anymore than 3 and a slippery fucker is on its way. Glasto is not the place to be caught short.

I may grab a few crates on the way down and leave them in the car to have at home. It is always hard finding them sold locally so might stock up for the summer

All my mate said was "Brothers are selling festival strength cider from the factory in Shepton on Tuesday and Wednesday. £15 for 24 cans. Cash only"

So from that I'd say something temporary.

Thanks for that! Does sound temporary. May nip up on the Tuesday then if they do the same again.

[LEDZEP66]

I spoke to someone in the queue who had been to get some and he said they were selling a lot and it had been very successful so hopefully they will do it again

Whats actually happened with Brothers? We used to grab them from Tesco at any point over spring/summer. Now we never ever see them anymore?

[Jackmypie]

Finally... I've been waiting for the strawberry cider in a crate for years. Not a big fan of the pear cider though, tastes horrible when warm.

Festival Strength was the death of me after Chic...

I'm not sure if geographical location has an effect, I'm only a few miles away from S.Mallet, there are several local supermarkets that stock Brothers all year round, admittedly the festival strength one is a little harder to get. Given the weather today, tempted to stop on way home to pick up a couple of Cloudy Lemon bottles

It does hit you suddenly. A few years back my freind wanted to spice the pints up a bit so put a few shots of JD in, they knocked your head off

Ahh good times..

£22.50 for 24 x 440ml cans isn't bad. I had 330ml cans last year. I've put 3 lots in my basket (yes, 72 cans - don't ask!) and it looks like delivery is free.

[markrkp]

Correction - delivery is not free! Still tempted though.
