What I want, What I MEAD (What is Mead?)

YOUR NEW BOOK CLUB BEVERAGE!!!
Before there was wine, 8,000 years ago there was Mead. Mead is a form of "honey wine" made from the fermentation of honey mixed with water, with added spices and hops for preservation. ABV can range from 8% to 20%, this nectar of the gods will surely get your grammy dancing on the dining room table. The taste profile may not be as sweet as expected but provides the flavor of light beer with all the buzz of a wine. 
Mead brewing has surged in the past couple of years, satisfying the likes of child actor, Dylan Sprouse, into opening his own Meadery All-Wise, in New York. 
Some other popular Mead brands to check out are, Schramm's and Superstition. 
If you are interested in making your own Mead, you can purchase your own kit online.
Bottoms Up!

Entrées can range from pan fried schnitzel to the more authentic whole roasted chicken which is more popular in Munich. If every
