  • As far as I'm aware

    If you buy a drink called Bulmers in Ireland, you're getting what's called Magners over here. They had to change the name because there is another brewery in England called Bulmers. The English Bulmers, it would seem, are a bunch of shisters who have taken advantage of this fact and released there own far inferior product, which is the "Bulmers" that you can buy in this country.

      i think?

      bulmers sold the name to them to use outside ireland, so when they expanded they had to call the drink something else, hence magners
