Rioter John hit us with his concerns regarding Canberra Stadium’s baffling lack of available cider:
I have been trying on and off for over 3 years (since late 2010) to get Canberra stadium to answer a simple question: do they have any plans to offer cider, like almost every other stadium in Australia?
Emails, tweets, even letters have been to not answered. So, I was wondering if you guys wouldn’t mind dropping them a line and asking them why they aren’t tapping into the fastest growing segment of the booze market in Australia.
Alrighty Canberra Stadium, what’s the story?

I’m surprised you don’t have much local scrumpy cider round here and push this fizzy imported stuff, though I’ll try some Henry’s when i see it.

They really should have comely wenches serving tankards of mead at Raiders games..
The marketing just sells itself.
Although it’s sometimes hard to come by I have a real preference for the Dicken Cider
The best cider is ‘Henrys of harcourt’. made from apples, not apple juice concentrate. They do Perry as well.
See if they can knock up a HarveyWallbanger as well.. I’m gettin a little long in the tooth and have still to try one.
Seem to just remember in the 80’s the Lakeside used to sell them on Friday nights at the disco thing.

I think you’re confusing ‘Cider’ with ‘Rekorderlig’. Easy mistake.
Solidarity said :
At a rough count at the Canberra Craft Beer and Cider Festival, I’d say as many males were drinking cider as females, with the majority of female attendees drinking beer.
Hdopler said :
Borderline at best. Our group has learned to content itself with drinking decent adult beverages on our way to/from games, and consuming the swill available inside the stadium only when necessary. Less hip pocket pain as well.
Also why don’t they have fruity cocktails, mead, Jager Bombs and Vodka/RedBulls? It’s a travesty!
Duffbowl said :
That’d still be an improvement on the beer and wine they currently offer!
I’ve wondered this as well, given that there are tons of men who don’t want to drink wine and aren’t so bogan as to want to drink crap beer. So what gives Canberra stadium?
Solidarity said :
I never touch cider and I quite like some sport. I’m just a failure at this gender thing….
Given the crap they sell as beer, John would be lucky to get a Strongbow or 5 Seeds at a premium price.
I guess not enough women attend sporting matches to make it viable
