Fun Mead Facts:
- Mead is the world's oldest beverage; older than both beer or wine. It dates back to a prehistoric cave painting found in Spain.
- The word "honeymoon" originates from mead. Back in the day, couples drank honey wine for the period of one full lunar cycle, which was said to ensure the birth of a male heir.
- It takes 360 lbs. of honey to make one batch of mead.
Redstone Meadery is launching its product line in Ohio soon, but for now you can find it at Japp's being served by the glass or mixed in a cocktail.
