Has anyone had Mead? - GoFuckYourself.com

I brew my own beer (and yes it's fucking good) and have always wanted to try to make some Mead. Has anyone had it? I have a feeling that it's gonna hit the market soon because a lot of micro breweries have been fucking around with it for the last couple years.

For those who don't know what Mead is, it's a wine like drink made from Honey. You can also add fruit and spices, but true Mead is from just honey. Dwarves drink it a lot.

Anyone tasted it? Is it good? Or one of those "acquired" tastes?

Well yeah. I was born in Scotland.

It IS an acquired taste and it's not that easy to make well.

ya, I know it ain't easy. Is there anything you can compare it to? Did you have the straight up Honey Mead, or was it Melomel (fruit added), Metheglin (herbs/spices added) or Pyment (grapes added)?

Was it "get drunk" worthy, or just something like a desert wine?

My beer is gooooood. All glass fermentation, 2 stage, I use fresh hops, all grain. Even have a Freezer set up for Lagering with a digital temperature regulator.

But, if you're offering beer, and put some of your models in the mix, I'll leave right now.

ps. do you go to Oktoberfest? I wanna go.

It was made in a stone outbuilding by my grandad. Could have added goat shit for all I know.

I drank it til I was 17 when I moved to the states. If it's good it will knock you on your ass.
