    Anyone know if there are brands of Irish hard cider available around here?
    I had a number of very good ciders in Dublin, and would like to stock them for a party.
    Brands I had included Suffolk, Bulmers, and Aspall.

    According to an email newsletter I received, In Fine Spirits carries Aspall, among others.

    Pretty sure I've seen Magner's (sold as Bulmers in Ireland and as Magners in the rest of the world) at DiCarlo's in Mundelein.

    Almost positive I've seen Magners at Binnys. It's pretty easy to find on taps around town too.

    Try Bottles and Cans on Lincoln. I think you'll be quite pleased. They reportedly have Aspall, Magners and many others.

    "Suffolk" is one of the brand names used by Aspall, based in Suffolk, England.

    Once you've bought a bottle of Magner's you've pretty much completed the assembly of an Irish cider flight.
