as mead makers, we love to give people our creations and in turn have been asked this question hundreds of times… “what is mead?“ mead is an alcoholic beverage created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices or hops. the alcoholic content ranges from about 5% alcohol to more than 20%. the defining characteristic of mead is that the majority of the beverage is derived from honey. it may be still, carbonated, or naturally sparkling; dry, semi-sweet, or sweet. cheers!
