But, for those that don’t know? What IS mead?
In recent years, mead has - rightfully - seen a resurgence in popularity. But, believe it or not, one of the questions we are asked the most is; what is mead?
Mead is one of the oldest alcoholic drinks known to man. This is in part because mead can be found naturally in the wild, if the conditions are just right. All you need is honey, a little rain water and some natural yeast... And.. Hey presto... MEAD! (of course, GOOD mead takes a little more care and sterilization!) Mead has been highly valued by humans since its discovery and can be found in Roman, Greek and Viking mythology - often heralded as the drink of the gods.
So, celebrate International Mead Day the right way, head over to our website now to see the extensive stock list we have to offer 🐝🍯
