===Mead=== Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with yeast. Mead is not a beer, wine, or spirit in the normal sense; it is its own class of alcohol, and many people believe it is the oldest of the alcoholic beverages. Mead has held a pivotal place in many cultures throughout its nearly 8,000 year history, and it is still enjoyed throughout the world.
Traditional meads are made using only honey, water, and yeast. |width="50%" valign="top" style="background:#fbdae5"|
===Cider & Perry=== Cider (also known as "hard cider") in its simplest form is fermented apple juice, while Perry is fermented pear juice. Sometimes sugar or raisins may be added to raise the alcohol content and sometimes spices are added for flavor. |}
