Fizz Cider

[Scotty Mac]

does anybody know anywhere in sussex that sells it? i have only come across two places in the COUNTRY - one an off licence in cheltenham in which half of the stock i am convinced fell off the back of a lorry, and a newsagents in dageham

i am fully prepared to take a grilling for this because it is not "real cider" - but if anybody out there knows somewhere that sells it please speak now or forever hold your peace

Fizz along with Kiss, which is of the same ilk, are the national drinks of Lithuania.

There is a MASSIVE market for deliciously flavoured, synthetic cider over in that corner of Eastern Europe it seems.

i can see why -it is so easy to drink and tastes so refreshing that you can find yourself getting through eight cans of the stuff in two hours. which can lead to problems when it weighs in at around 5%

I misread your first post, probably best to get it online - although I am sure you will have looked at that already. I have never seen it sold anywhere over on this fair isle.

If you could sell it in crate form to festival goers you would make a MINT. It has that elusive quality of tasting almost as good lukewarm as it does cold, marvellous stuff.

A pale imitation. It is far more synthethic and sweet than Jacques, but yet somehow more fruity and refreshing.

the pear koppaberg is ok too, for a treat.

the beat feature of the pear kopparberg is that it is easy to drink at 6am when embarking on a silly away game

I had a couple of the Cherry version when I was in Lithuania. Marvellous stuff.

No but last night found out my local 'spoons is about to stock - Dark Star

GF just didn't get the excitement haha

Oh and on the cider front, Battle Cider is pretty tasty and stocked in few places round God's county

DeeBee Cash & Carry in Grimsby stock Fizz but you need a trade card to be able to buy it.

They had Kiss strawberry cider in Wine Me Up a couple of months back, during the hot spell. 5% and gorgeous stuff. They were selling it for about £1.20 or something daft. It sold out super-quick and they never replaced it.
