From Ukcider
Cornish Rattler Cyder is an industrial cider brand which is produced by Healey's in Truro, Cornwall.
About
Rattler was tested in 2004 in a 6.5% draught format in 16 of St. Austell brewery's outlets. According to their website, the feedback was good, but pub managers felt it was too strong! It was then re-branded, re-designed and made to be 6%.
In 2005, it was launched officially and sold well. In 2006, an extremely hot summer boosted sales further and before the 2006 pressing season, Healey's invested in doubling capacity, and pressed more apples than ever before. Following futher investment it is available in 320 pubs in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.
Their website states that Tescos are saying that... "Rattler is outselling Magners in several stores around Cornwall" and that they are looking to supply their bottles to supermarkets up-north.
