What Is Mead? Mead, also known as honey wine, is regarded as the
oldest of fermented beverage and has stood the test of time.
From the dawn of pre-history to today mead has long been
regarded as a delicacy, often referred to as the "nectar of the
gods". The earliest archaeological evidence for the production
of mead dates to around 7000 BC where pottery vessels containing
a mixture of mead, rice and other fruits along with organic
compounds of fermentation were found in Northern China. Crafted
Artisan Meadery uses the finest raw, unfiltered, unpastuerized
honey as well as fruits, spices, herbs, and other natural
ingredients to create an experience that is solely "mead". Some
of our meads are aged on oak and others not...oak does wonders
to an already complex mead. Our use of honey might make you
think that mead is only sweet. While mead can be made as sweet
as a dessert wine it can also be made dry...and anywhere in
between. Yes, you'll find a little of "traditional wine" and
even a little of "craft beer" ele
