| Topic | Is there a reason mead isn't stocked in stores often? |

The niche is growing, but it's still very much a hipster drink in many ways, falling well behind cider (which is growing, but still somewhat niche) in terms of overall popularity. There's a craft cidery here that occasionally does meads and cysers (a blend of cider and mead), so that might be something worth looking into, and you may be able to find some craft meaderies in your area, but mainstream liquor stores aren't likely to carry much, if any. There's also the super-secret third option of making your own, which I did. If you've got a winemaking supply store in town, the equipment is all the same as is needed for wine, and they may sell or be able to order in a mead kit for you. Even if they can't, the kit is literally just a bucket of honey and some yeast and additives, and such stores will sell yeast and additives on their own. Buy some honey in bulk from somewhere (a 10 kg bucket made 23L, in my case, or 30 bottles), and you'd be good to go. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
