What is mead?

One of the oldest alcoholic drinks, mead is made from 3 core ingredients: honey, water and yeast. Depending on the honey used and fermentation time, mead can range from sweet to dry, and from light to full-bodied. Fruit, spices and other alcohol can also be combined during the brewing process to create a variety of different flavours.

history of mead

As one of the oldest known alcoholic beverages, traditional mead has a history that spans millennia. It has survived through various civilizations, each adding their own influence to the production methods and flavors. In fact, the term "honeymoon" is thought to have originated from the tradition of newlyweds drinking mead for a full moon cycle to ensure fertility and happiness.
