Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 09:01 Sun 9/6/2015 Originally posted by Hippoman Why do female names and pigs feature so prominently in cider branding? Sex sells. Not sure why they use female names though.
Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 09:37 Sun 9/6/2015 Originally posted by minutemat I personally do not rate Mr Whiteheads ciders. Tend to be a bit too sour & acidic for me. Not surprised Danes didnt like it. I’m pretty sure they mainly (exclusively?) use eating apples, whch don’t provide the body or tannins to carry a lot of acidity without seeming unbalanced.
Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 12:49 Sun 9/6/2015 Personally I’ve flagged Mr Whitehead’s ciders. I won’t drink them. Just thin as far as I am concerned.

If I ever make one I’ll call it Penelope’s Porker. West Country, English/Welsh borders and Wales. All synonymous with pig rearing. Also big cider producing areas. A lot of cider producers are also farmers. As for female names, well, it attracts males and makes women feel that it’s something for them. That’s why male webchat people tend to give themselves female names. Men will flirt and women will feel safe. Simple psychology. I’ve just cooked chops with apples for the woman upstairs, mainly because I know she likes pork in cider (co. Humphrey Littleton)

Message McNeillR beers 2372 º places 16 º 08:38 Wed 9/9/2015 I find cider easier to rate, especially if faced with a handful of BIB stuff. There’s a lot of different variations knocking around and often M&S regionally have different varieties.
Message wheresthepath beers 3441 º places 279 º 12:21 Wed 9/9/2015 I’m not a huge cider drinker but I occasionally like a cider (or, better, a perry) for "pudding" after a beering sesh.
