Join the folks at Fermental for our annual mead tasting, showcasing a variety of honey wines in different styles from around the world.

What is mead? Mead is a beverage created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices, grains, or hops. Historically, Mead is thought to be the oldest alcoholic beverages known to man. It was most likely discovered by accident while harvesting and storing honey. The history of this beverage dates back 20,000 to 40,000 years and has its origins on the continent of Africa. Honey wine was believed to be the drink of the gods, and was thought to descend from the heavens before being gathered by the bees. Because of its spiritual associations, it is easy to see why ancient societies believed mead to have magical and sacred properties.

The event also features educational information on the history and production of mead and its significance in history and in relation to Vikings, honeymoons, literature, and more.
