The first two are available here in the United States. Unless they
brew a different one for us, I personally don't remember them being
that alcoholic but then I prefer wines to beer so maybe my calibration
is different.

I've never seen this "scrumpy" here. Has anyone else?

I wish there were more ciders available here.
