Brothers Cider

i was drinking the festival strength pear in the sun at the oxford summer eights

doesn't take many bottles to hit you especially in the sun

the bottles stuff is much lighter colour than the brothers bar though

Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but has anyone seen the Brothers advert on tv yet?

[Pinhead]

Ah, yes. Taking advantage of the cheap advertising right now.

Extremely well timed too.

Although unfortunately:

"We found that the brand is about a particular time and place, and to move forward it has to be anchored more in an idea that belongs to the brand, rather than to Glastonbury Festival."

Knew they had redesigned the logo to de-emphasise the Glastonbury Festival relationship some time ago and was wondering when it was finally going to be launched.

What do people think of the advert? Would have liked a festival reference, but can see why they'd want to dettach it somewhat from just being enjoyed in that context.

My dream job - to work for Brothers as Chief Taster!

Now I've got my free goodie pack in the bag I have to say that I've gone off Brothers a bit. Since it's been available in the real world I've realised that

a. It packs a hell of a hangover, even considering how strong it is

b. It's rebranded Babycham and a bit too sweet

c. Therefore, it's not really all that good.

Still heading straight to JW when I get on site though!

This Brothers Cider does sound exceptionally good ! I will have to get myself one the day we get there !!

[annie83]

yes!! my favourite feeling in the world...putting up the tent, then off to Jazz world for the best cider ever!

[-Will-]

Had my first bottle of it last week ! I have decided on buying a lot of it for glasto and putting it in plastic bottles as it is ssoo much more efficient! It dosent taste bad either . The weight of the carlsberg or whatever would have killed me so it is now brothers all the way.

Only tried festy strength and tesco only sell strawbery(i think). At £1.78 is it cheap ? expensive ? How much is it usually in shops ?

[Kaye]

Quite simply, no.

My friends and I have a tradition of heading over to the Brothers bus on the Thursday evening . . . sitting under the flags drinking our first festival cider has become our way to start the festival. I CAN'T WAIT!!

[shiveringsky]

I returned last Saturday to a club I used to be a regular at, to be greeted by a mate proferring a sip of his pint. I gladly accepted and I swear the nectar of the gods itself wouldn't have tasted as sweet.

'What's this?' I asked

'Brothers toffee apple cider.' Was the reply.

Turned out the bar now stocks lovely Brothers cider and yes, I got a bit battered on the festival strength. Worth it!

2+ weeks!!!

It's a funny advert!

Can I be your assistant if you get that dream job?

[craiga]

Try your local Morrisons if you have one.
