Yes, I - though I come from a country where cider was unknown up to a few years ago. Now you can find it rather easily in pubs, though it's not always the best quality. I love both English and French cider, while Finnish cider is way too sweet (they probably put sugar in it, which is not a good idea Pinch

).

Unfortunately, at the moment it's too hot to even think about drinking anything remotely alcoholic... Cry

A hot day is the perfect time for an ice cold beer. Not a heavy, dark beer like a stout or an ale, but a lager would be ideal or if you're so inclined a pilsner will do the trick. A mellow Mexican beer like Corona or Pacifico are perfect on hot days. especially with a slice of lime. So cheer up Ghost Rider, you can still drink no matter how hot it gets!!

One of the finest beers available:

I've always preffered wine, white wine in particular (I'd choose beer over red wine, any day). Although I like some beers, I find wine seems to have a more distinct taste whereas I can never fully get over the impression of beer as bitter water.

Maybe it's simply down to which you tasted first. I was brought up on wine and cider. They say beer is an acquired taste. Maybe I never bothered acquiring myself to it properly.

Any cider drinkers here?

My wife is a huge cider fan.

I love Old Peculier. Never heard of Summer Lighting, I'll have to look around for that one. I take it it's a seasonal beer and only available for the summer months?
