Woodchuck Draft Cider —

I am not a huge beer drinker, and while the "girlie" beer/malts/beverages are okay, nothing had really gotten my attention, as they were all tooo sugary, fruity, etc... Until a friend, knowing my dilemma introduced me to Woodchuck Draft Cider. It was awesome. I got the taste of beer infused with a tart apple. Needless to say, I immediately tried all of their products. I like Granny Smith best still (that's what I had the first time), but I like them all--especially the Pear and 802. It's the best of both worlds. You don't have to take shit for drinking the pansy products, and you still get the taste of a beer/cider without overwhelming your taste buds. I STRONGLY recommend trying this to everyone. People like me who aren't huge fans of traditional beer, and even the Brew Guru's, because their cider was in the finals for the World Beer Championship, a feat not many can boast of.

You can't go wrong. :)

RE: Your defense of cider as a beer...
I'm very familiar with the World Beer Championship because I have been a beer evaluator for the Beverage Testing Institute here in Chicago where the WBC takes place. "World Beer Championship" is simply the title of this particular competition -it has no bearing on the products that are evaluated under that heading. BTI does not have a separate World Cider Championship (yet).
I have had Woodchuck along with many other commercial ciders and I have even made my own. I stand firmly by what I said about cider being closer to wine than beer simply because both are made from fruit. Beer is made from grain and there is no grain used in the making of cider.
Historically speaking, when the wine-loving Romans invaded Normandy on their way to Britain, they discovered the pleasures of apple cider; they even compared it favorably to the sparkling wines of the Champagne region.
And if you admit that I am "technically correct", why do you still argue the point?
