What is Mead?
Mead is one of humanity’s oldest alcoholic drinks — often called the drink of the gods. It’s made by fermenting honey with water, sometimes flavored with fruits, herbs, or spices. The result? A golden, aromatic beverage that can range from sweet and smooth to dry and complex — like wine’s wilder, ancient cousin.

People have been raising glasses of mead for over 9,000 years — from Viking longhouses and Celtic feasts to medieval castles. It’s said warriors toasted victory with it, poets praised it, and newlyweds drank it for a month after their wedding… giving us the word “honeymoon”!

Today, mead is making a comeback — rediscovered by craft brewers and history lovers alike. Whether you prefer it chilled, mulled, or spiced, mead is a toast to tradition — a sip of living history in every glass.
