Westons Scrumpy
“I dreamt about you last night and I fell out of bed twice” Morrisey once eulogised. Unlike Morrisey I didn’t dream about you and I only fell out of bed once. This did however cause some minor grazing to my elbow and a small contusion to my right knee. The cause of this ungraceful plummet; Westons Scrumpy.
Cider has enjoyed something of a resurgence in recent years, largely to due to the popularity of the glorified Appletize otherwise known as Magners. If you like to put ice cubes in your cider then Westons Scrumpy is not for you. If you like an honest, ballsy, rustic cider that you could probably fuel a tractor with, then it most likely is. Personally I’m in the tractor fuel camp. I won’t pretend this is an easy glugging drink, but persist past the first acidic glass or two and it starts becoming rather palatable. Very soon it’s time for bed or at least a lie down. Westons Scrumpy makes me think of sticky summer afternoons tinged with regret, wasps swarming around bins, thumping headaches and damp underpants…chin-chin!
Available at Asda £4.00 2ltr bottle 7.5%alc.
