Strongbow Cider

Recently I came across Strongbow in a local supermarket for RM 9.29 and decided to give it a try since it has been sometime now I taste an apple cider.

Strongbow is a cider brand manufactured in England by Bulmers since 1887.

Strongbow got its name from the Cambro-Norman knight, Richard de Clare, nicknamed "Strongbow" for relying heavily on Welsh archers during campaigns in Ireland, where the native Irish had few bows and relied on javelins.

The cider is made from fermented apple and sugar with alcoholic strength of 5.3%

Strongbow might not been the best cider in the market. For the best cider, head to the Coronation Tap in Bristol
