The story of Crabbie's

Oh hello and welcome back to our Ticketyboo Take on Life blog.

Today dear fans we are hopping in the time machine and going back to 1801, when Crabbie’s Alcoholic Ginger Beer was first born.

Did one know that a fine young gentleman named John Crabbie’s brought the spiffingly refreshing taste of Crabbie’s to the UK and particularly Edinburgh as a cure for sailors suffering from sea sickness? I say what a clever chap!

It was a Crabbie’s ginger wine that is still available from time to time now as a limited edition but do be quick when you see it dear fans, it does tend to fly off the shelves when one is out doing the shoppedy-shop!

The fabulous taste of Crabbie’s that we know now that is made up of four delicious ingredients combined with steeped ginger and it is fermented for eight weeks. Oh I say, dear fans we’re glad you have the patience to wait for that, George wouldn’t last five minutes.

Crabbie’s is served best chilled from the refrigerator over ice with a slice of lemon or lime.  Which do you prefer?
