Types of Mead:


Acerglyn - Honey and Maple - Sweet
Bochet - Burnt Honey - Tastes like liquid toffee
Braggot - With added Hopps - Taste half way like beer
Cyser - Honey and Apples - effectively half cider
Great mead - Long aged, supposedly well rounded (Never had it, mine never lasts that long.)
Hydromel - Watered down table mead - very refreshing
Melomel - Fruit mead - huge variety
Metheglin - Standard mead though can have herbs - ranges from sweet to dry
Rhodomel - Rose hip mead (Never had it, could be a summer project.)
Sack mead - very strong almost like what port is to wine - very sweet
Short mead - Short aged, usually fizzy - often quite dry
Sima - Fast fermented low alcohol lemon mead - drunk at Vappu (Walpurgis Day)


There are others, even African traditional meads... Though they are beyond my knowledge.

Wow, I had no idea there was such a variety but it makes sense when you think of all tge varieties of beer and wine

After a few pints of mead the Vikings would go out and "Blood eagle" a few people, much like what Stella does to the teenage miscreants of today

Thankfully though, the teenagers aren't armed with big axes

As I type this there are 4 kids on my bus playing on their phones and every other word is either 'bruv' 'fam' or 'innit'

Youre using your phone on a bus?! Hope you're being discrete.
