What is Mead?
Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water, and sometimes with additional ingredients like fruits, spices, grains, or hops.It can have an alcohol content ranging from about 3.5% to more than 20% ABV. Mead is often referred to as honey wine, but it is distinct from grape wine. Mead can be still, carbonated, or naturally sparkling, and it can be dry, sweet, or semi-sweet. Mead has a long history, possibly dating back 20,000 to 40,000 years, and has been popular in various ancient cultures, including among the Greeks, Romans, and Vikings.
Our meads take on a different version than the widely known, higher alcohol, still and sweet meads. Ours are all dry and sparkling with an alcohol content ranging from 6% to 8% ABV.
