keltoi Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Scrumpy is a term often used for strong ciders made in West Country of England.[1] The term is especially used to distinguish those made locally in smaller quantities and using traditional methods from mass produced branded ciders. The name is believed to derive from the obsolete dialect term "scrimp", meaning a small or withered apple, which also gave rise to the verb "scrump", meaning to steal fruit.[2][3] It can be applied to basic home made ciders as well as to commercially produced and marketed varieties. Scrumpy can be dry or sweet, however tends to be stronger in alcohol and more tannic than most commercial ciders. It is often cloudy in appearance, and is usually still rather than carbonated. Scrumpy was often featured in the songs of The Wurzels, a folk/comedy/country group from South West England, especially in the song "I Am A Cider Drinker".[citation needed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iain C Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 good cloudy scrumpy is about the only cider worth drinking (and it's still more or less piss). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dilbthelame Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 scrumpy jack is ok in (heavy) moderation.... excess consumption is a fast track to braindeath cornish rattler is pretty lethal after a couple. weston's organic is the shit, but 8% so not to be fucked with my favourite cider is stowford press which isn't scrumpy though. there's a couple i could recommend but i forgot their names after 6 months away and oh god i miss cider out in china.

Guest fox Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 i make my own cider and can tell you that, in my experience, still cider is much sneakier than carbinated 'cause is goes down so smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 LOL I remember being behind the bar in padstow when this titchy wee lad comes in, couldn't have been more than 11 or 12. "'ave you got any Scrumpy?" "No sorry." "No Scrumpy? Let's go somewhere else da'" with a look of utter contempt. I wanted to smash the wee git in the mouth, but fuck it, he's probably gotten enough of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My mum and brother love scrumpy, but I hate the stuff and thus was shunned from my local pubs for my crazy city ideas of requesting vodka-cokes. There was one I remember my mum buying called 'Cripple Cock', mmmmmm temptingly named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sine Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My Dads a proper cider drinker,and always regaled us kids with tales of wickedly strong scrumpy with bits of dead rat floating in it and it being so cloudy it looked barely potable.Every year the Peace Festival would come to our town and Dad would stock up on flaggons of scrumpy with names like 'Evil 'Eds' & 'Strewth!'. Nearest I ever get is apple juice.I Wonder why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
