Mead

[pwnag3!!]

Anyone ever had this stuff?
my dad is obsessed with honey now that he is keeping bees and he gave me some mead (honey wine) it tastes like pure honey water and alcohol.... gross

It's not that bad. It's actually really easy to make. just takes a while. If you brew your own beer eventually you'll probably end up wanting to make mead.
Here's a bit of useless knowledge stored in my head...
Meade is where the tradition of the honeymoon got its start. If mead were consumed for one month (one moon) after a wedding then in nine months a son would be born and the mead maker congratulated. The custom of drinking mead at weddings and for one month after initiated our present daycustom of the honeymoon. (thanks to Charlie Papazian for that bit)
