Get Thee To a Meadery

Tired of IPA’s or wine? To Scotch you never took a shine? Maybe what you really need To perk you up’s some old-time mead. Not quite retro, more medieval, Meaderies boast the retrieval Of this drink from ancient days Is more than just a passing phase. Made with honey, sometimes fruit, The brewers are in hot pursuit Of gaining fans on all frontiers, Most likely those who relish beers. It’s said to be the oldest brew With alcohol, much overdue For a resurgence, which is why We all should give some mead a try.

I've had Mead wine in Maine made by Bartlett's Fruit Wines. It doesn't compare to their Blueberry wine, however, now at $20+ a bottle. Half bottles are $15+. An artist friend whose work I've collected over 40 years makes his own blueberry wine with a touch of effervscence and it's delicious! The only beer I'll drink is a Canadian brew called Fin du Monde (End of the World); it doesn't taste beerish at all, probably why I like it. / M

Nothing like a poker to perk mead up during the winter! But too much honey ruins the beer! Nicely done, Ilene! Aloha! Rico
