Braggot, sometimes called Bracket or brackett, is the traditional term for a mead made with malt as well as honey. This is a very broad definition; a mead may simply get some flavor from steeped specialty grains, or it may get, by some definitions, as much as 80% of its fermentables from malt. Braggot may be hopped or unhopped.

Making Braggot
Just as with beer, the grain component of braggot may be based on an all-grain or extract recipe, and the honey may be added at any point in the process, although it is often added at the beginning of the boil for this style.
Alternatively, a batch of beer and a batch of mead may be brewed separately and then blended, either in the secondary fermenter or in the bottle. Braggot may also be prepared in a traditional style by blending beer and mead just before serving.
