You've heard of beer. You've heard of wine. But - have you heard of mead? This unique alcoholic beverage has a long history. It can be dry or sweet, made with fruit or spices, but honey is the key ingredient to making mead. Woody Drake of Brothers Drake Meadery gives an introductory crash course in Mead 101.

[VERGIL1112]

can you make nord mead

[AgileHProductions]

@VERGIL1112 Are you talking to me? If so, the answer is probably not, because I don't make mead.

[Xxskaterman]

i prefer Honeybrew definetly has a more earthy taste which I prefer in a darker brew such as Honeybrew has, but also unlike Black Briar the kind of passion and craftsmanship that goes into making each tankard of mead is unparalled.

[AgileHProductions]

@Xxskaterman I am going to have to start trying these.

[sajpaj67]

maven black briar will hear about this..

[AgileHProductions]

@sajpaj67 I haven't even played these games, but the references are cracking me up for some reason.

[uliseto]

I'd be alot happier and a lot warmer with a bellyful of mead

[FWalshingham]

Is it sad Skyrim brought me here?

[cadmus98]

@FWalshingham Not really. I learned about mead from The Hobbit when I was young.

[AgileHProductions]

@Solidiquis Did he let you ride shotgun?

[AgileHProductions]

@Diminished5 Riften Guards make a lot of good beverage suggestions.

[Diminished5]

@AgileHProductions I am actually buying and trying one because of the Riften Guard endorsing it :D
