Bulmers would be called Magners up north I would imagine OP.

Other than that it should be the same

Bulmers down here is Magners up the North, however the Bulmers that is available up there is the English cider(brewed in Hereford i think), and is far nicer.....

Why oh why don't they just call their product range Magners?
It saves on packaging, advertising and they can concentrate on building one brand.
They laid off close to 70 people last month which was sad to see, worth a try.

OP, your question has been answered already It's Magners you want, not Bulmers when you head up North

2. Why is Bulmers Only Called Bulmers in the Republic of Ireland?

Bulmers Ltd. do not own the trade mark for Bulmers outside of the Republic of Ireland.

The Magners name is derived from the name of local Clonmel man, William Magner, who in 1935 started cider production and founded the company which is today Bulmers of Clonmel.

The Magners brand name was developed by Bulmers Ltd. in 1999 when the company decided to apply its outstandingly successful home market development strategy to a number of export markets. The Magners brand, which intentionally mirrors all the product and design characteristics of the Bulmers brand, was successfully test marketed in Spain, Germany and Northern Ireland and is now exported to 15 countries worldwide.

Bulmers is the name that has stuck in Ireland, rebranding it today as Magners in Ireland would be seen as 'taking the English name' :rolleyes:. What they should have done was rebranded it as Magners in Ireland FIRST, then launched it in other countries...
