Scrumpy is a type of traditional cider that originates from the West Country of England, particularly in regions like Somerset and Herefordshire. It is typically made from a mix of bittersweet apples, which gives it a distinctive, robust flavor. Scrumpy is often less filtered than commercial ciders, resulting in a cloudy appearance and a more rustic taste. The alcohol content in scrumpy can vary significantly, usually ranging from 5% to over 8%. It is often enjoyed in a casual setting, sometimes served in a pint glass or a traditional jug. Many people appreciate scrumpy for its artisanal qualities and connection to local apple-growing traditions.
