'''Scrumpy''' is a type of [[cider]] originating in the West of [[England]],<ref>{{cite book|last=Soanes|first=Catherine |title=The Oxford Dictionary of English|year=2005|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=0-19-861057-2|url=http://www.oxfordreference.com/views/ENTRY.html?subview=Main&entry=t140.e69266|edition=revised }}</ref> particularly the [[West Country]]. Traditionally, the dialect term "scrumpy" was used to refer to what was otherwise called "rough", a harsh cider made from unselected apples.<ref name=leeds>Leeds, W. ''Herefordshire Speech: The South-West Midlands Dialect As Spoken in Herefordshire and Its Environs'', 1985, p.95</ref>

Today the term is more often used to distinguish locally made ciders produced in smaller quantities and using traditional methods, from [[mass-produced]] [[brand]]ed ciders.<ref name=CAMRA/>
