I'll stick with North American cider. As in, no alcohol. |
| NightJack #940910 5 months ago |
I have seen to many comments about cider not being alcoholic so I had to do this. |
| Saufsoldat #940914 5 months ago |
So cider is basically just apple juice in the US? That's sad. |

Spiced apple juice actually. |
| WatermelonRat #940932 5 months ago |
No, it's actually a lot different than apple juice. It's a lot tastier, and is traditionally more seasonal. |
| Fuzzy_Logic #940933 5 months ago |
it's not apple juice god dammit
apple juice is lame and stupid and tastes awful, cider is great and "thick" and tastes amazing "oh well it's a liquid made from apples therefore it is apple juice" NO NO D:< |
| NightJack #940934 5 months ago |
Funny thing is that where I grew up, I live in the U.S., we called it "real cider" not "hard cider". |

Don't diss applejuice you assholes
Elmo brand forever! |
| Fuzzy_Logic #940939 5 months ago |
Juice. Boring, clear, gross, lame. 
Cider. Amazing, opaque, delicious, awesome. |
| WatermelonRat #940946 5 months ago |
And sometimes they bake the cider into donuts. I've never seen someone do that with apple juice. |
| NecromanseR_RuS #940947 5 months ago |

But the pony cider being alcoholic is funnier. |
| B2C #940960 5 months ago |
Sometime after Prohibition the word cider came to mean unfiltered, unfermented apple juice. In current U.S. usage the term is used for both fresh-pressed juice and fermented products, although the latter are often called hard cider. Apple juice, meanwhile, refers to a clear, filtered, pasteurized apple product. |
| Saufsoldat #940982 5 months ago |
@Fuzzy: That's some heavily filtered apple juice you got there. Unfiltered it looks like this:
Pretty close to non-alcoholic cider. Sure it won't taste the same but different apple juice brands don't have the same taste either. Oh well, water is the only non-alcoholic drink for me. |

@b2c thx |

This. If they use rule of funny to justificate newborn babies flying and using magic, and leaving two ponies stranded on the middle of a desert, then I'm also going to use rule of funny to say that they're all alcoholics. |
| Kolo99 #941005 5 months ago |
They're using beer mugs... alcohol! |
| Anonymous #941057 5 months ago |
The fact the it's was sold in beer mug, had a thick froth on top (just like beer) and the "happy" expressions the customer made seem to incidicate that it's hard cider.
But in the end it's a kid show, we saw fillies in the row and we have a comment from Faust who said that ponies don't booze up. So it's probably non-alcoholic cider. |
| Saufsoldat #941080 5 months ago |
What else would they use if not a mug? Ordinary glasses are pretty hard to use for earth ponies and pegasi. Glasses are also far more expensive and fragile than primitive mugs made of wood and metal.
I gotta say Pinkie's reaction made me think it's alcoholic, but all of the reactions can easily explained by "it tasted really good". |

@Saufsoldat
I made this from the number of people i saw saying cider, not the cider in the show, is not alcoholic but "hard cider" is, I'm pointing this out as a way for people that think that to know that cider is in fact alcoholic in real life but "hard cider" is a term for it, not that non-alcoholic cider is the real cider. |
| NightJack #941104 5 months ago |
Sorry that last one was to anon 057 not Saufsoldat. |
| DeeperMadness #941107 5 months ago |
See, in England (and this is where I got confused as well) we only have cider, which is alcoholic:
And scrumpy, which is even more alcoholic:  |
| NightJack #941125 5 months ago |
Deeper, in the U.S. we have scrumpy too but we call it apple wine. |
| DeeperMadness #941186 5 months ago |
NightJack, the West Country really wouldn't want to hear that. That's like comparing their coarse ales to a lager. XD
Do you have an analogue for scumble as well? |
| Anonymous #941276 5 months ago |
@DeeperMadness
That pic looks MUCH closer to the Cider we saw in the show. My little drunkards. :D |
| Marrock #941304 5 months ago |
Cider is unfiltered and unprocessed apple juice, that's what allows it to ferment.
Once it's processed into apple juice it's too "clean" to do anything with. |
| Fronzel #941420 5 months ago |
If it's clear and yella, you've got juice there, fella!
If's it's tangy and brown, you're in cider town! Now, there are two exceptions... |
| Anonymous #941437 5 months ago |
To ruin the fun by paying attention to detail, it must have been non-alcoholic; it was drunk right after being pressed from the apples.
In other countries depicting adults (even cartoon animal ones) enjoying an alcoholic beverage wouldn't be a problem. |
| Aggressively-Pastel #941479 5 months ago |
Scumble is just Discworld-ese for, well, Applejack surely? The freeze-distilled stuff, only... more so. And more dangerous. Freeze distillation concentrates all the alcohols from the fermentation, so it's not too much of a stretch by pterry. |
| NightJack #941582 5 months ago |
I find a lot of the names for stuff like that make more sense over there Deeper, I was just pointing out we have it, but I like the name scrumpy far better. |
| Anonymous #942137 5 months ago |
whether it was alcoholic or not, the whole this was exploitable.
USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!! |
| Anonymous #942169 5 months ago |
Don't alcoholic beverages take more time and more complex process to produce? (yeast and fermentation)
because all i saw were apples being crushed into juice in seconds |
| Anonymous #942232 5 months ago |
Yeah, there was no TIME for it to be alcoholic. |
| AnHornyMoose #942509 5 months ago |
If it's clear and yella, You got juice there fella. If it's tangy and brown, You're in cider town. |
| MonkeyKing #943820 5 months ago |
Cider starts to ferment remarkably quickly. Even if it was supposed to be non-alcoholic, after sitting in those barrels all day, it would have had a little kick to it anyway. |
| TheAntiCat #948123 5 months ago |
Since I don't drink cider, hard or not and only drink beer, whisky, scotch and brandy, I'm not too worried about any of this. |
