Mead
is probably the oldest known alcoholic beverage in the world. From Europe
to Australia mead has been a popular drink, dating back to long before
Viking Times. One of the earliest references to mead can be found in the
Hindu's of India's holy books, the Veda books, which date back 4000 years
and possibly even earlier than that.

In
Africa, mead is consumed in vast quantity. In subsistence economies honey
is harvested from wild, or semi wild hives and is rich in pollen and debris
- perfect for mead making, but not for sale as table honey.
