    It's totally unrelated to the Irish Bulmers.

    They can't sell it here, due to copyright issues with the name bulmera. Up north is probably the only place you'll find it.

    I've certainly seen UK Bulmers cider in shops in Dublin.

    It shouldn't be, for exactly the same reason that Bulmers (C&C) must be sold as Magners abroad. C&C own the Irish Trademark to Bulmers, with H.P Bulmers owning the International rights to the name.

    Itself being wholly owned by Heineken these days.

    I didn't know that, but I assume the trademark situation remains the same. Anyway, imo UK Bulmers is even worse than Irish Bulmers.:)

    Why not go for Koppaberg strawberry and lime? most likely similar, but it's sweet as f**k and will give you the s**ts..
