I'm sorry, but mead is disgusting

[Chicken Man]

Why is that? I don't find this to be the case with my mead once I got my technique on point

I only do a batch every couple of years, so I'm sure I'm not nailing it. It comes out really alcoholic, which tastes better to me cold. I like my bourbon on the rocks, too.

Mead is murder, eat cows.

 

[MarkydeSad]

Just reading about it in Neil Gaiman's book, American Gods, made me feel nauseated.

I'm reading that at the moment

 

[DFB]

I like it with a grog chaser

Did you drink it from a flagon? S'probably yer problem right there.

I went to a party where this fat hippie dude brought a big bottle of homemade mead. I was convinced he jizzed in the bottle and was having a laugh on all of us.

I have never brought a bottle of mead anywhere in my life.

Mead can vary a lot. There's dry , sweet, spiced, hopped, fruit-juiced... the list goes on. It's like saying you don't like beer or grape wine. Perhaps you just haven't found the right one.

The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true.

The only place I've been to around here that I know makes it is at The Livery in Benton Harbor. I wanted to try some when I went to the Tempest show there back in April, but they didn't have any that night. I guess they only make small batches of it, so sometimes they have it, sometimes no.

I still want to try mead sometime

As long as you're not adding any "special" ingredients, you can bring a bottle of mead any place you want. But I'm still not drinking it.

When you mentioned fat hippie dude I felt I was being called out...

 

[Jbird]

I've read that Robert E. Lee didn't care for Meade either

Nah, you're not a fat hippie dude.

You're an old hippie dude. That's much cooler.

I think Lee liked him just fine, but Lincoln and the Union army didn't like him so much.

My best friend is still drinking his own urine.

I haven't tried mead.

I highly recommend twice peed mead. chears

 

[angry tele]

homebrewed mead is pretty good., I mean its not a quaffing drink, but a sip a few ounces type potable. But its not bad.
meadheads take their meads serious.
i know a dude who wins gold medals and blue ribbons for his meads. he also wears a kilt. probably unrelated.

Great book though. Did you see his special edition?

 

[jp_nyc]

I love African mead. I used to guzzle that stuff at the Ethiopian restaurants when I lived in DC. I’ve never bothered with the goofy spiced-up microbrew meads. That seems to defy the point of just fermenting honey.

No, I've never heard of such.
Ah, I just found it on Amazon, "Author's Preferred Text".
