I do use the word "beer" loosely here. I'll duck the taxonomic debate and just say that sometimes I might refer to the group of beverages described by the Beer Judge Certification Program or BJCP as beers as a linguistic convenience.

I immediately took a liking to the ciders like Woodchuck and Strongbow. These crisp, tart apple flavored beers didn’t even taste like what I thought beer should taste like.

Being British maybe i’m missing a cultural language difference here or something, but ciders aren’t beers…

From wikipedia:- (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer)

Alcoholic beverages made from the fermentation of sugars derived from non-grain sources — fruit juices or honey, for example — are generally not called “beer,” despite being produced by the same yeast-based biochemical reaction.

I’m aware that i’m a pedant… (http://www.douglasadams.com/dna/pedants.html)

If you were here and referred to a cider as a beer you’d get some very strange looks…
