mbrookes,  Try Magner's Irish Cider.  It is much drier - less sweet and cloying - than the American hard ciders.

I find the American ciders too sweet to drink too.

A beer snob and recently diagnosed celiac, I can report that the only tolerable Gluten-free beer has been the Green's Amber.  The Dogfishhead "Tweasons" is an OK drink, but tastes nothing like beer.  The rest have been awful.  Rice and sorghum do not a good beer make.  I'm not sure if I trust Omission, so I've steered clear for now.

The good news is that I am not an alcoholic - just a beeroholic.  I've been uninterested in wine or liquor.  I like hard cider OK, but not enough to drink it everyday.

I miss Fish & Chips with a pint of Guiness more than anything.
