What is Mead?
Mead is the world’s oldest alcoholic drink, with a global history over
9,000 years. It has been made and drunk in Ireland for centuries. There
are many styles including meads with fruit, spices and herbs but once
most of the fermentable sugars come from honey, then it’s a Mead.
The raw honey is mixed with local water, fruit and yeast and
fermented off dry.
