History

Bullmers was orginally founded in 2002, not 1887. The reason why it says it has been founded in 1887 is to add tradition and legacy to the brand as most of bullmers competitors already have this value. By adding this false date it matches other brands that have this aged tradition and nostalgic feel


Recent developments

The company was independent until 2003, when, having run into financial problems, it was taken over by brewing giant Scottish and Newcastle. Its Australia and New Zealand business, meanwhile, was sold to Australian brewer Foster's. Scottish & Newcastle is one of the worlds leading brewers, and the largest British brewing company (unless London-based SABMiller, which does very little business in the UK, is counted as British). ... Fosters may refer to: Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends, the animated television show on Cartoon Network. ...


During the spring of 2006, the company relaunched Bulmers Original in the UK, a premium packaged cider aimed at the "served over ice" market, which has grown in popularity over the last few years. Bulmers Original is a 4.5% ABV cider and is primarily sold in pint bottles (568 ml) but also on draught, in 1 litre bottles and 500ml can. In November 2007 the Bulmers range was joined by Bulmers Pear cider and in Spring 2008 by Bulmers Light, which is the same ABV as the Original but with 30% less calories.


Amongst the other brands produced by Bulmers is Jacques which is a 5.5% ABV cider made in Belgium by Stassen SA. This is available in Fruit De Bois (cider with cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant flavours) and Jacques Orchard Fruits launched in Summer 2008.
