- Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with water and often spices, herbs, fruits or grains. It may be carbonated or non-carbonated.
- It is one of the oldest fermented beverages in human history, dating back over 9,000 years to ancient cultures in Africa, Asia and Europe.
- Mead was known in many ancient societies including Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and the Vikings. It played an important role in mythology, religion and early medicine.
- Traditional mead is made simply from honey, water and yeast. Other ingredients may be added for flavor such as fruits, spices, grains or hops. Popular varieties include melomel (fruit mead), metheglin (spiced mead) and braggot (mead with malt).
- The alcohol content of mead can range from 3.5% ABV to 18% or more. Sweetness levels also vary. Common types include dry, semi-sweet and sweet.
- Mead enjoyed a surge in popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages. After a decline, there has been a modern resurgence of mead making and drinking.
- Homebrewing mead has become a popular hobby. Many amateur mazers (mead makers) and professional meaderies operate today.
- Mead pairs well with spicy foods, fruits and desserts. Serving temperatures vary based on sweetness level. It is commonly served chilled.
