On the 6th day, there was honey and shortly after Mead. At least that is how 1634 Meadery would have you believe it. 1634 Meadery has taken one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known to man and has made it 'cool' again if you ask us. What was once a specialty drink is slowly turning into a mainstay and 1634 is leading the way. If you are new to mead the Raspberry Delight might be the place to start. However,…
