Brothers cider - where?

[markrkp]

Apologies in advance if this has already been covered, maybe as part of another post. But... I went to Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Co-Op and B&M, looking for cans of Brothers cider today. And nothing! I could get Pear, Toffee Apple and Strawberry before, but this year so far haven't seen any. Has anyone else looked, or been lucky to find some? Even going to the supermarkets online, I can only find the bottles. Many thanks!

Tesco online has strawberry...

Brothers Strawberry Pear Cider 4X440ml

£6.09 (£3.47/l)

[markrkp]

Ah yes, thanks! On offer at 3 for £10 as well, so that'll be 12 cans for £10. I got packs of 8 or 12 before I thought, but this offer is pretty good. Anyway, I will see if I can find them in the bigger Sainsburys store nearby.

I mean, Tescos!

I seem to remember being able to buy them in Morrison's in June last year. It was like they'd come out just for the summer festivals and that was it, so there's still time for some to appear.

Morrison's are very good for alcohol all round though, particularly ciders. They have a lot more to offer than the other supermarkets.

Thanks stardust - will get to my nearest Morrison's and have a look (we don't have one in Colchester). If I have to leave it a couple of weeks, that's fine - plenty of time. Was just trying to be super organised this year.

im in the same position, we are trying to get ready and my other half loves the toffee one, and we can not find it in cans anywhere

[stardustjunkie]

I'm pretty sure it's only strawberry and festival strength that comes in cans.

[markrkp]

I got pear, strawberry and toffee apple in cans before. So far only seen the strawberry in cans. I did buy 12 cans for £10 in Tescos today! £6.09 for 4, or 3 lots of 4 for £10 - offer expires tomorrow. Only went for that small amount because I am holding out for the other flavours, plus some lagers and ales.

The festival pear is still available, but not all Tescos are stocking it anymore. If you contact their customer service, they can tell you if any near you stock it.

[markrkp]

Thanks Greenelk, I'll do that. Love the pear Festival one, with its 7% alcohol volume kick! Couple of those and that's the start of it all getting a bit messy!

its a bit of a long shot but if you have a jtf store near by (only 12 in the uk) you can get 24x330ml cans for £8.49.

I emailed Tesco and had a phone call today saying festival pear in cans has been discontinued :-(

Getting a bit concerned that I can't source any Brothers in cans anywhere nearby, besides packs of 4 strawberry\pear (for £6) in Tesco. Do the Festival 7% pear and toffee apple cans come out some way into June usually?

You can call into the Brothers factory in Shepton Mallet if all else fails! They open between 9am and 5pm, someone on my twitter timeline was also desperately in search of cans!

Going to them direct - that's a great idea. Hopefully it won't come to that, but it's an option I guess. If all else fails, I shall just have to visit the Brothers bar a couple more times than usual.

[markrkp]

Is the Brothers Bar going to be in the same place this year?

[LordHam]

Yeah they tweeted a few weeks back saying same place as usual

[markrkp]

West Holts it is then - cheers.
