Question
What is mead?
Answer
Mead is wine made from honey - a fermented alcoholic honey beverage. It's one of the first alcoholic beverages ever brewed, even before beer and wine. It's making a bit of a comeback these days, and there are as many styles as there are meaderies (or maybe even more!), ranging from sweet dessert meads to refreshing dry meads, "traditional" or infused with fruit, herbs, spices, wine grapes, hops, and even mushrooms! Of all the meads we've tried, Meadiocrity makes our favorite (they're anything but mead-iocre) and we know you'll love their creations too.
