Recently, several meaderies have opened up in the area. Being the curious type, I decided to try some. I got a bottle of Blueberry Honey Mead from Laurel Highlands Meadery in Greensburg, PA for my birthday. I'm really glad that I did.
Mead is a fermented beverage made of honey, water, and yeast, it’s often called “honey wine.”
This mead was made with blueberry honey. The bees were pollinating blueberry bushes. There are not blueberries in the mead. It has a light delicate taste. I find it quite good and refreshing. Unlike the God of Thunder, I enjoy sipping it over ice.
Mead may not be everyone cup of tea, but I'm glad I tried and will continue to drink it into the future. It never hurts to expand one's palate.
About a half dozen years ago or so, I tried moonshine and have added it to my array of beverages. Now I have mead as well.
I do want to point out that I'm an adult (for far too many years than I want to admit to). I enjoy beer, wine, and other spirits in moderation. I like the taste and savor the experience. I also want to remember the good times with family and friends. You can have a glass or two and be responsible at the same time. Cheers!
