Honey Mead

The Bee Guild had a Honey Mead tasting and information demo at the meeting last night. I've been told by many people it's nasty stuff. I don't have the taste buds for alcohol so I rarely drink and when I do it's to prevent food poisoning while traveling. So in the spirit of the meeting I sampled some of the home made mead guild members brought in. I was very surprised that it didn't taste all the bad. Sort of like thin honey water with a kick. Then I samples some strawberry/honey mead and that was really good. Of course it could have been a flash back to my younger days drinking fruit wine with a screw off cap. Even a wine drinker, mead hater guild member said it was better than he thought too. I'm thinking I may try making some since the process looked interesting and by the end of summer we will have more honey than we can give away.
