If you want a proper pear cider, try Brothers. They also do a Strawberry version which is rather nice...
I feel for you! Having to go through the labyrinth of sofas and kitchens is worth it when you reach the food section (I wonder if you can enter through the exit - it's only 20m from there!). That Koppaberg stuff is the only cider I ever buy more than 4 at a time of and let's not forget the meatballs. Their crisps are nice tooBenjiSayers said:I tried Ikea but they only did Pear. had to go all through that bloody maze of a place to find it too. Anyone that has been to the gateshead Ikea will know how stressfull it is, especially if you go on a bank holiday!

Arsey said:I just got some from Asda and they also sold it in Sainsbury's. Unfortunatly I could only find the pear version so still need to look for Apple and the other rare flavours.
if you want apple, get some cheddar valley down you.
plus it's bright orange and gets you drunk so fast.FirebarUK said:Cheddar Valley is nice, quite easy to drink too - so it should appeal to your big kopparberg drinking girlies
sara said:Kopparberg is what the Swedes call cider, but not what us Brits do. It's pear wine, really, just with added carbonated water. Which is why it's so sweet and doesn't have that cider 'tang'.

semi-pro waster said:What is this fad about drinking cider with lots of ice, I blame Magners/Bulmers (whichever one you have locally).
qwerty said:I recently learnt the main reason they market it to be served with ice in a pint glass. If the glass has ice in it, it means you can't fit the whole contents of the bottle into the glass. This means you have to have the bottle sitting next to your glass while you drink it. Other people in the pub see it and think "Oooh, how exciting, that looks nice, I'll have one of those!", whereas if you order a pint of Strongbow, you (more often than not) get it in an unmarked glass and other people have no idea whether it's a Stella, Kronenbourg, Strongbow, Blackthorn etc.
EDIT: while I'm here, does anyone else get annoyed when you order a Magners and the barman asks "Ice and a glass with that?". Every time, I am so tempted to say "No, I'll just have the ice thanks" and see how he manages that.
