Made by fermenting honey with water, mead is incredibly versatile, and no one knows that better than these area meaderies whose products are a far cry from the cloying beverage of yesteryear. From a braggot (half mead, half beer) to a melomel (mead that contains fruit) to a cyser (mead mixed with cider), there are countless varieties on the market.
